Annastacia Palaszczuk defends the slow progress of Queensland's museum plan almost 4 years after the premier promised to raise $60m to secure the old museums future. Initially the historic building was recommended to be sold or leased to a university to which the government rejected in late 2019 as it was questioned whether the venues "huge rambling halls" could be properly utilised for tertiary education.

Cross river rail says that there are plans to connect the historical buildings and the Exhibition Station, but nothing has been concluded. 

Activists are raising concerns in relation to the excessive use of police force during arrests at the Land Forces Defence Expo. 80 police officers attended the expo with the intention of working with the protestors. 8 arrests were made, including indigenous elder, Wayne Wharton after he demanded access to the convention while another protestor blocked the former defence ministers vehicle prompting their arrest.

Anastasia Palaszczuk defends her pay rise of $27,600 although declaring in August last year there would be "no pay rises for Queensland's MPs until 2023"

This follows after she wrote to the tribunal that any salary increases for the MPs be put on hold for the duration of the COVID-19 pandemic. 

Ms. Palaszczuk states that “Queensland’s economy is coming back, people are out and about, people are functioning, and that is a matter for them, they are independent of government to make those decisions.”

In an internal review conducted by the GPS Bail Project team, Queensland Police Service officers lack training when responding to bail breaches conducted by adults with serious crimes fitted with electronic monitoring devices.

Queensland Premier Annastacia Palaszczuk accepted a pay rise of over 20,000 dollars despite previously asking for wage increases for politicians to be put on hold during the pandemic.  

The decision came from the Queensland Independent ­Remuneration Tribunal this Monday, granting an increase of approximately $23,000 from $393,955 to $427,561.
