I would just like to place on the record that this motion has been carefully crafted to ensure that this chamber in no way is making comment or condemnation of the Queensland Police. We support the work of our police officers. We recognise the comments made by the Police Commissioner Katarina Caroll. This motion has been carefully crafted to make clear that the concern expressed—and I hope expressed by this chamber—is with the comments of Ms Bettina Arndt only. As the mother of a police officer, I strongly support the work of those men and women who bravely support and protect everyone in the community, including victims of domestic violence.
