00:00David Cricifulli has pledged under an LNP government $40 million will be invested in
00:07a Victims Advocate Service, which will be able to support victims of crime.
00:12The free service would also help victims get financial support and connect with counselling
00:17and support services.
00:19The service wouldn't be established until 2026, with planning works undertaken next
00:24year if the LNP wins this month's election.
00:27The LNP says the service would offer different support from the State Government's Victims
00:32Commissioner that was recently established.
00:34Mr Cricifulli again faced questions on the issue of abortion if the LNP wins government,
00:40after Catter's Australian Party State Leader Robbie Catter confirmed he would introduce
00:45a private members bill to reverse decriminalising termination's next parliament.
00:51Abortion was decriminalised in Queensland in 2018.
00:54Mr Cricifulli wouldn't be drawn on the matter, refusing to say whether he would deny his
00:59MP's a conscience vote if a bill is brought before the House next month.
01:03It's not part of our plan and it's not happening.
01:06That's a fairly definitive answer.
01:08David Cricifulli was in Townsville today where he's hoping to win three key seats including
01:13Townsville, Mundingborough and Thuringowa.
