Billy Slater has made some drastic changes to the Maroons side with Queensland staring down the barrel of a second straight series defeat.

Maroons and Broncos veteran Ben Hunt told Peter Fegan on 4BC Breakfast, "It's a really tough call, to drop your halfback and your captain after the first game."

"He made a couple of other little changes, [like] moving Paddy [Patrick Carrigan] to the bench and things like that."

"He's obviously got something up his sleeve or in his mind he wants to do, we've just got to trust him," Ben Hunt said.

A deep dark underworld of AI fakes and pornography within Queensland schools has been revealed.

There have been two cases in a week, the most recent at Good Shepherd Lutheran College in Noosaville.

Queensland Education Minister John Paul Langbroek told Peter Fegan on 4BC Breakfast, "These types of incidents do make me question whether we need to look at some other sort of oversight of these non-state schools."

"Because for a lot of it, it's them agreeing to their responsibilities, but in some cases, we're seeing they're not carrying through."
