The Queensland LNP leader, David Crisafulli, has walked back his campaign promise to resign if crime victim numbers do not reduce under a government led by him – claiming on Friday that he was referring to per capita rates, and not the overall number of victims.
The qualification, on the eve of the state election, comes as polls suggest the opposition has squandered a huge polling lead at the beginning of the month, and is in now danger of not winning enough seats to form a majority government.
