Give us more Police in Burleigh
Michael Hart, the LNP CanDo candidate for Burleigh, says "Tuesday's holdup at the local Westpac branch in James St and a spate of break-ins on the Gold Coast Hwy demonstrates the lack of commitment to fighting local crime.
"It is obvious that the Labor member is out of touch with the local community and State Labor is not serious about stopping crime in the Burleigh area. Burleigh locals deserve a member who has a proactive approach to reducing crime other than offering passive personal rewards.
