Press Release: Police Minister Neil Roberts and Commissioner Bob Atkinson today joined local MPs Steve Kilburn and Cameron Dick for the official opening of the new Carina Police Station.

Did you know, for example, that our desalination plant, which some critics label a multi-billion dollar white elephant, provided drinking water for Brisbane for four weeks when the standard system could not cope with polluted floodwaters? I didn’t. Things you learn at the Chamber!

The Premier gave examples of how small business will benefit from the economic growth generated by the resurgence of mineral extraction industries.

Senior citizens are surfing the web with confidence and, most importantly, with safety thanks to a program launched in the Metropolitan South Region by the Carindale Police-Citizens Youth Club (PCYC). The project was initiated after members of the Carina Senior Citizens Club expressed concern over their members falling victim to scammers on the Internet, to the extent that they were no longer confident to use computers.
