Annastacia Palaszczuk’s staffer makes embarrassing email blunder to victim of crime

Annastacia Palaszczuk was redfaced after her office made an embarrassing mistake in an email sent to a resident complaining about crime in the state.

A person living in Townsville sent an email to the Premier of Queensland asking for more to be done to tackle crime after their home was broken into four times in two years.

In an email dated May 25, the person wrote that he no longer felt safe in his own home and asked Ms. Palaszczuk when she was going to do something.

“Take action now. The people of Queensland have had enough,” they wrote.

An employee then forwarded the correspondence to a colleague who was responsible for handling emails sent to the office.

They made the extraordinary mistake of pressing the “Reply All” button, resulting in the victim of the crime getting caught up in their response.

“Please send a canned response,” the email read.

The resident who sent the email had sent similar messages to several other politicians, including opposition leader David Crisafulli, the Courier Mail reported.

Robbie Katter of Katter’s Australian Party and Attorney General Yvette D’Ath have also received an email.

The resident sent a reply to Ms Palaszczuk’s office, calling the general response “typical of a government that has lost touch with its constituents and voter base.”

“This was undoubtedly a clerical error that should have been received by one of your followers before they would respond with the contempt and arrogance befitting of being in power too long,” they wrote.

The individual then accused Ms. Palaszczuk’s office of keeping the public at bay by shirking government responsibilities.

They added that the response sent in error was typical of a government that has “lost touch with its voters and constituents” and shows a lack of respect for victims of crime.

The person ended his email by saying he was “looking forward to another STANDARD REPLY PLEASE.”

Daily Mail Australia has contacted Ms Palaszczuk’s office for comment.

Queensland is grappling with a juvenile delinquency crisis, leading fed-up residents to take matters into their own hands.

Earlier in May, locals in Mackay, central Queensland, threatened to take the law into their own hands after claiming police failed to act against suspected criminals in the town.

Anonymous signs have been posted around Mackay warning of the vigilante curfew and calling for local fathers to join them in monitoring the ‘going unpunished’ crimes.

The number of illegal entries has more than doubled year on year with 108 incidents in the area between January and April this year, compared to just 50 the year before.

“Due to the high rate of unpunished burglaries and car thefts, we would like to advise all parents of the Northern Beaches area to give one week’s notice,” the “community announcement” says.

From 22/05/2023 there will be a curfew enforced by the community for all young people. From 10 p.m. to daylight, Mon-Sun, all youths walking the streets will be punished.

“I urge all parents to share this announcement with your family and friends.

“All the fathers who are ready to stand up for your community, please get involved, watch over your street and look out for your neighbors and protect those who are unable to.”
