On Tuesday 29 January, a fatal accident occurred at the intersection of Beerwah-Kilcoy Road and Steve Irwin Way, Beerwah. The traffic signals were out following the extreme weather conditions on the Sunshine Coast. On this same day, several radars and speed cameras were set up around the Coast.
While your State Government and QPS continually try to make us believe that increased enforcement action is for "road safety", one has to wonder why QPS didn't have officers directing traffic at this intersection instead of operating radars and speed cameras, especially after a senior SES officer warned QPS about the dangerous situation that existed, just 3 days prior to the crash.

Yesterday, the traffic lights at the Nambour Connection/Foley Road intersection in Woombye (just north of the alleged "black spot") were not working - while this intersection was left unattended, 6km away a radar was set up on Coes Creek Road. Today, these traffic signals were still out and left unattended, yet a police officer was 100m up the road monitoring driver compliance with a stop sign.
As the current Queensland Police Minister, we seek your justification as to why you believe collection of revenue should take priority over ensuring safety for Sunshine Coast road users.
