  • QPS calling on community help in the fight against Domestic and Family Violence

    In the last week Queensland has witnessed one of the darkest alleged incidents in the state's history.

    A mother has been charged with three counts of murder and three counts of attempt murder after 3 of her children were burned to death in a fire near Toowoomba.

    Assistant Commissioner Kath Innes from the Domestic Violence and Vulnerable Persons Command within the Queensland Police Service told Peter Fegan on 4BC Breakfast, "In relation to matters across the nation, we do have information sharing and systems in place so that we can keep our victims safe and that's most important part."

    "This month is Domestic Violence Awareness Month and what we are trying to do is raise that community awareness about everybody taking part in keeping people safe."

  • 8-year-old student trashes two classrooms and is welcomed back within a week

    9News revealed last night shocking images of damage to a school caused by an 8-year-old student.

    Current Queensland Teachers are speaking out about how worsening classroom behaviour across the state is impacting all students.

    9News Political Editor Tim Arvier told Peter Fegan on 4BC Breakfast, "So many parents who aren't doing what they should be doing at home, sending these kids to school, and many of them have horrible background,s and they act up at school because school is their safe place to act up."

    "If they do that at home, horrible things happen to them."

    "It's a combination of what's going on in society, poor parenting, and a system now set up within the education system that doesn't have the repercussions for the actions, the consequences for actions that teachers say are needed," Tim Arvier said.

  • 'We're still going strong': Ben Hunt dismisses rumours Madge has 'lost the sheds'

    There are rumours of a rift between the players and the coach at the Brisbane Broncos which comes just at the wrong time for the club coming off two disappointing losses.

    Apparently Michael Maguire has lost the sheds and the players have been described as "lacking effort".

    Injured Broncos Half Ben Hunt told Peter Fegan on 4BC Breakfast, ""There's obviously plenty of noise going out there at the moment, but no, mate, he definitely hasn't lost the playing group."

    "Whenever you play in Brisbane, you lose a couple of games, there always seems to be a lot of noise starting to pop up on the outside.

    "We're still going strong here, we just had a couple of setbacks, but now everything's going well," Ben Hunt said.

  • 14-minute wait time? Doctor calls for more accurate hospital wait time data

    One of the key changes in the Crisafulli Government’s approach to fixing Queensland's health system was real time health data.

    According to data, the average wait time in a Queensland ED remains at 14 minutes which is the same number from the October to February period meaning not much has changed.

    Australian Medical Association of Queensland President Dr Nick Yim told Peter Fegan on 4BC Breakfast, "I think we do need a system of the data portal to be accurate and transparent and what the patient and clinicians need to make their clinical decision."

    "I guess when there's not much change in the wait times in the data portal, that can lead to frustration and we're hearing that, unfortunately, in our emergency department."
