Brisbane news live: Thousands to miss out on LNP’s homebuyer help; Snow in Queensland? Maybe; Crisafulli reveals cabinet made call to end transgender care

Police are the least likely cohort of respondents to a new corruption watchdog survey to feel confident that meaningful action would come from raising a complaint.

The annual Corruption Perceptions Survey was carried out by the Crime and Corruption Commission anonymously between March and May this year, and was released on Tuesday.

On the key theme of trust in the state’s integrity systems, responses broken down by those in the public sector, local councils, police or broader community show a clear divide.

When asked if they thought meaningful action would be taken if they reported corruption, only 29 per cent of police respondents agreed – with 45 per cent disagreeing.

Of those in the broader community, 41 per cent thought meaningful action would be taken, and 23 per cent did not.

Among public sector workers, 33 per cent agreed and 36 per cent disagreed. While 40 per cent of local government staff agreed, and 28 per cent disagreed.

More than 11,000 Queenslanders have registered for the Crisafulli government’s ‘Boost to Buy’ home ownership scheme, announced in June as part of the LNP’s first budget.

The $165 million scheme, designed to help first home buyers break into the market, allows the government to make an equity contribution of up to 30 per cent for new homes and 25 per cent for existing homes, for properties up to $1 million.

While the Crisafulli government has celebrated the program as a way to give more Queenslanders a chance at home ownership, the two-year pilot is only available for 1000 applicants, and buyers will still need a minimum 2 per cent deposit to apply.
