As the sun surely sets,
Dawn will see it arise,
For service above self
Demands its own prize.

You have fought the good fight,
Life’s race has been run,
And peace your reward,
For eternity begun.

And we that are left
Shall never forget,
Rest in peace friend and colleague,
For the sun has now set.
We will remember.

Hasten the dawn

The Queensland Police Union joins serving and retired police across our state in mourning the passing of former Police Commissioner Steve Gollschewski.

Steve dedicated his life to policing and serving the Queensland community, rising through the ranks to lead the organisation he had given so much to.

Today, rank and titles take a back seat. We remember a fellow police officer and extend our deepest sympathy to Steve’s wife, family, friends and colleagues.

Rest in peace, Mr Gollschewski. Your service is done.

"Police Have Our Backs. It's Time We Had Theirs."

Police officers put themselves on the line every day to keep our communities safe. It's only fair that they receive the same Fringe Benefits Tax (FBT) concessions already available to ambulance and hospital workers.

The WA Liberals are calling on the Albanese Labor Government to extend these concessions to police officers, providing a practical way to increase their take-home pay and recognise the vital work they do in protecting our communities.

Please sign the petition and share this post to help spread the message.

Together, we can show our police officers that their service is valued—not just in words, but through meaningful action.

Today is National Police Legacy Awareness Day. 💙🖤

Australia's police associations and unions have long been proud supporters of Police Legacy organisations across the country, and we remain steadfast in our commitment to supporting and protecting our police families.

When a member of the policing family is lost, Police Legacy ensures those left behind are never alone. Through practical assistance, compassionate care and lifelong support, Police Legacy organisations stand beside the spouses, partners, children and families of those who have served our communities.

The Police Federation of Australia is proud to stand alongside our affiliated police associations and unions in supporting the invaluable work of Police Legacies nationwide. Together, we are committed to ensuring that the families of our fallen colleagues continue to receive the care, connection and support they deserve.

Today, we acknowledge and thank the dedicated staff, volunteers, supporters and donors who make this work possible. Your compassion and commitment make a profound difference to the lives of police families across Australia.

On National Police Legacy Awareness Day, we reaffirm our commitment to the enduring principle that policing is more than a profession—it's a family. And families stand together.

Today, and every day, we proudly support Police Legacy and the police families they serve.

📰 The Courier Mail's Editor has seen enough too.

Yesterday we told you about Brian Currie. Stabbed two police officers with a syringe, one in the neck at Redcliffe Watch House.

Violently assaulted three officers in total. Sentenced to 3.5 years against a maximum of 14. Eligible for parole before he even begins serving time for attacking our officers.

Today, the Courier Mail editorial called it out directly. Police officers deserve to be protected by legislation that acts as a proper deterrent against those who want to harm them on the job.

We’ve been saying this for years. Now Queensland’s largest newspaper is saying it too.

Western Australia introduced mandatory sentencing for assaults on police in 2009. Assaults dropped by more than a third in the four years that followed. The evidence is not in dispute.

The Crisafulli Government prides itself on being tough on crime. The Courier Mail says our call for mandatory minimum sentences is “worthy of further investigation.”

I'd go further than that. It’s worthy of urgent action.

People like Brian Currie and Liam Sing is exactly why. Our officers go to work expecting they might be assaulted. What they should also be able to expect is that the justice system has their back. Right now, it doesn’t.

Queenslanders deserve better. Our officers deserve better.

Yesterday, the community came together to witness the unveiling of a statue honouring Victoria Cross recipient Private Richard Norden VC — a lasting tribute to an extraordinary Australian whose courage and service extended far beyond the battlefield.

During the Battle of Coral/Balmoral in Vietnam in 1968, Private Norden displayed incredible bravery under intense enemy fire, repeatedly risking his own life to rescue wounded comrades. His actions would later see him posthumously awarded the Victoria Cross, Australia’s highest military honour.

Following his military service, Richard Norden continued his commitment to protecting the community through a career as a police officer, dedicating his life to service both in uniform overseas and here at home.

Yesterday’s unveiling was a powerful reminder of sacrifice, courage, and duty — and of a man whose legacy continues to inspire generations of Australians.

💙 We will remember

Victoria Cross recipient private Richard Norden has been immortalised at a ceremony in New South Wales with his statue and memorial unveiled in Gundagai. He was posthumously awarded the VC two years ago for an act of bravery in Vietnam in 1968.
