While George Street may not realise it, the Labor Party government needs to cull crocodiles before the LNP's crocodile policy culls Labor.

For voters in north Queensland, crocodiles represent everything wrong about a government that makes decisions for the benefit of Greens voters in south-east Queensland, without any regard or understanding for voters who live 1000 kilometres or more from George Street.

The LNP's shoot-to-kill policy for crocodiles that pose a risk to people, especially those lurking around boat ramps, on coastal beaches, and populated waterways, will be a vote changer in key Labor-held seats like Barron River, Mundingburra, Bundaberg, Mirani, Keppel, Thuringowa, and even Maryborough, where crocodiles are an increasing problem. It will also shore up the LNP vote in seats like Whitsunday and Burdekin.

Labor's policy of doing more surveys will only lose them votes in the seats that count, and win not one single vote in south east Queensland.
