Crisafulli made the promise to resign as premier after four years if “victim numbers” did not reduce, during a first debate with the Labor premier, Steven Miles, on 4 October.

“I’m serious about it, and I’m not giving myself any wriggle room. It’s victim numbers,” Crisafulli said.

#Chrisafooli now says on Friday that he was referring to per capita rates, and not the overall number of victims.

The #Qld Premier #StevenMiles responded by accusing the opposition leader of making an “excuse for an increase in victims”.

“The fine print of his signature commitment is that there will be more victims. It’ll just be per capita. That goes against everything he has consistently said,” the premier said.

“Now, he’s given himself three body lengths of wiggle room by saying that he meant per capita, he clearly didn’t mean per capita, because he has been critical of Labor for that increase in victims, which per capita has seen a decrease.”

Doesn’t add much to the knowledge base about #QldVotes but some profiles on some of the seats that may be in play. Also doesn’t mention that #Chrisafooli has now backtracked on his commitment to resign as Leader if he fails to reduce the so-called high crime rate 🤦‍♂️😁🥂
