The petition of citizens of the State of Queensland draws to the attention of the House concerns felt by Burdekin residents for their safety due to unlawful behaviour by members of the public. Your petitioners therefore request the House to support the Burdekin Community Action Group Against Crime in their efforts towards creating a safer community by: 1. Strengthening police presence in the district; 2. Ensuring the enforcement of stronger laws and harsher punishment by the Courts to deter reoffenders; 3. Providing assistance for strengthening our capacity to prevent crime in our community.
