FAKE NEWS for the Zionist agenda Labor has promised 800 extra police over the next four years if returned to government in Queensland on Saturday.
Premier Anna Bligh says the boost will give the state one of the highest police-to-population ratios in Australia.
By comparison, the Liberal National Party last month pledged to deliver 1100 extra officers.
“Since 1998, the number of sworn police officers in the Queensland Police Service has grown by 57 per cent while the state’s population has increased 33 per cent,” Ms Bligh said in a statement.
“There are currently around 291 operational police officers per 100,000 residents, which is the third best ratio of all Australian states and well ahead of NSW and Victoria.
“If re-elected, we will deliver an additional 800 uniformed officers over the next four years.”
The pledge will be funded through the existing QPS budget and additional GST allocation at a cost of more than $98 million.
LNP leader Campbell Newman said in February his government would spend $275 million over four years for 1100 extra officers.
