 Good morning everybody. Today is the launch of the six month blitz in relation to anti-social behaviour and criminal activities in the Cairns area and particularly concentrating on the CBD area. Operation Escalate will commence today and run for a six month period involving approximately 20 other officers that will be brought in from the region, those officers whether they be from tactical crime, state operation support to obviously the other different tactical squads throughout Queensland here to Cairns to make sure it sends a clear message to those who are committing anti-social behaviour or committing crimes on the streets of Cairns that we've had enough. Now the LNP government makes no excuse for getting tough on crime so this will be part of a three pronged approach to anti-social behaviour. The first is the blitz and zero tolerance on crime. The second being the announcement today of 10 permanent officers that are being gazetted to increase the staff model here in Cairns Station and the third prong is also to ensure that we have a holistic approach to the Cairns issue right from the Department for the Attorney General to the Minister from Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander multiculturalism to the Minister for Support to the Minister of Communities. The state government has been listening to the people of Cairns and to the local MPs and this is a clear message that people have to change their anti-social behaviour and obviously we also want to send a clear message to the community that to have confidence back into living, working and obviously the entertaining in the CBD area.
