4BC Breakfast

It's been more than two decades since thirteen‑year‑old Daniel Morcombe was abducted and murdered in December of 2003.

That also means that the Daniel Morcombe Foundation, built by Daniel's parents Bruce and Denise, is 20 years old.

To mark the occasion the family is releasing a new 30‑minute documentary, Don’t Waste It: The Daniel Morcombe Story.

Bruce Morcombe told Peter Fegan on 4BC Breakfast, "It's more than a documentary, it does tell the story of Daniel and the family dynamics and the investigation, but it's more than that, it's a story of positivity."

Premier David Crisafulli declared war on youth crime when he was elected, with a particular focus on posting and boasting of youths on social media.

The Queensland Police have followed suit, setting up a unit dedicated to catching young show-offs.

The QPS Digital Intelligence and Community Engagement (DICE) team specifically targets the online activity of youth offenders.

The officer in charge of DICE, Superintendent Col Brigg,s told Peter Fegan on 4BC Breakfast, "There are a range of systems and techniques to do that, but identifying an account is one thing, and identifying the behaviour is certainly one aspect of that."

"Really, that's where our work begins, and that's where the team really come into the fore, because it's fine to identify a post that is showing criminal behaviour, but we've actually got to get evidence to our investigators," Superintendent Briggs said.

The Liberal Party has been decimated in the federal election, while the Nationals were able to maintain almost all their seats.

Peter Fegan asked Nationals Senator Bridget McKenzie on 4BC Breakfast, "Given the damage to the Liberal Party, has there been any discussion of some type of separation?"

 "Well, not from the National Party," Mrs McKenzie replied.

"The National Party did quite well within the construction of the coalition agreement."

"Are you suggesting the [Liberals] have discussed it?" Peter Fegan interrupted.

"Well, you'll have to ask the Liberal Party," Senator McKenzie continued.

The Queensland Government is facing a growing threat of strike action with nurses warning that they’ll walk off the job over what they’ve labelled a ‘woefully inadequate’ pay offer.

Minister for Health and Ambulance Services Tim Nicholls told Peter Fegan on 4BC Breakfast, “It’s not a take it or leave it offer, it’s a negotiation and that’s where we are at the moment."
