00:00David Crisafulli is again in far north Queensland as week two of the Queensland election campaign
00:08continues.
00:09He started the morning at a local football club in Edmonton where he announced under
00:14an LNP government $50 million would be invested to set up nine early intervention programs
00:21across the state.
00:22The programs will operate on a referral basis from schools, police, child safety and parents
00:29and deliver one to three week programs.
00:32It will be voluntary and children aged 10 and above will be able to undertake the program
00:37as many times as needed.
00:40This kind of program has never been rolled out on this scale anywhere in the country
00:44and we are determined to turn young people around before a lifetime of crime.
00:49The focus will be on education, discipline, counselling, training and employment.
00:56The LNP has its sights set on three seats in this region, Cairns, Barron River and Mulgrave.
01:04This seat has been held by Queensland Speaker Curtis Pitt since 2009 and was held by his
01:10father before him.
01:11Mr Pitt is retiring this election.
