CRIME WATCHERS | COMMUNITY INTELLIGENCE

FU***NG DISGUSTING.

It isn’t about politics, it’s about a 65 year old. Who has now lost a leg after being struck by a vehicle outside her electorate office in Wangaratta.

She remains in a critical condition.

A 43-year-old piece of crap, is in police custody. The motive remains under investigation.

A Dr A Health Researcher, A woman, someone’s wife. A mother and grandmother. A leader for midwifery at Wangaratta hospital

And now she’s fighting for her life after a deliberate attack.

We don’t give a damn what side of politics you support, what grievances you hold or how much you disagree with someone.

NOTHING JUSTIFIES THIS. NOTHING.

If this was a deliberate attack, it represents an appalling act of violence that deserves the full weight of the law.

Our thoughts are with Helen, her family and everyone affected. This is Australia. We should be better than this.

VIEWER DISCRETION ADVISED | COMMUNITY AWARENESS

The individual's identity and the alleged act have been deliberately obscured to protect their privacy. This footage has been shared for public awareness and community safety purposes, not to identify, embarrass or encourage harassment of anybody involved.

Motorists reported witnessing concerning behaviour involving a truck driver whose vehicle was parked on a busy main road during peak-hour traffic.

The vehicle had clear, unobstructed windows, meaning the reported behaviour was visible to passing motorists.

The footage was supplied to Crime Watchers | Community Intelligence by a member of the public. We did not record the incident, and we do not know the identity of the individual involved.

WHAT DOES QUEENSLAND LAW SAY?

Depending on the circumstances and available evidence, conduct of this nature may fall under:

• Summary Offences Act 2005 (Qld), section 9(2): Wilful exposure, where a person deliberately exposes their ge****ls within view of a public place without a reasonable excuse. Section 9(3) provides for circumstances of aggravation where the exposure is intended to offend or embarrass another person.

• Criminal Code Act 1899 (Qld), section 227(1)(b): Indecent acts committed wilfully with the intention of insulting or offending another person.

Whether an offence has occurred is a matter for Queensland Police to investigate and determine whether charges are warranted.

WHY ARE WE SHARING THIS?

Because people have a right to feel safe in public spaces, including when travelling on our roads.

Raising awareness is not the same as passing judgement. We protect identities, encourage responsible reporting and leave criminal investigations to police.

Anyone with relevant information or original footage should report it directly to Queensland Police. Please do not attempt to identify or confront the individual.

QLD Police has more than 700 vacancies and a recruiting pipeline that has halved. The academy alone cannot bridge that gap.

Today the Minister has indicated the roles available to Special Constables will be expanded. It is a positive step and something the QPU has long advocated for.

Experienced former officers can help ease frontline pressure by taking on roles such as public order, traffic support, prosecutions support, forensic support, brief assessment, file work, prisoner transport, academy support, station admin and community engagement.

But it must be done properly. Special Constables should be paid at their previous rate and the program must be funded sustainably.

The QPU is calling for an additional 100 Special Constable positions each year to 2032.

Some people will say to lift the retirement age. But we can’t. Queensland police superannuation is built around a retirement age at 60. Changing that puts the higher contribution rate our members rely on at risk.

This is about boosting capacity, supporting frontline police and making the most of the experience already within our ranks.

Expanding roles is a start. Now we need the positions and funding to match.
