QLD Premier Steven Miles said the attack gives “added weight” to the argument to expand police stop and search powers.

Jack’s Law lets Queensland police search people without a warrant on public transport, at public transport stations and in safe night precincts.

Mr Miles said legislation expanding Jack’s Law to include shopping centres will be introduced to parliament “very soon”.

    Same. I’ve carried a Swiss Army Life pretty much every day of my adult life and I can’t remember ever stabbing anyone.

      If you were schizophrenic and had an episode you quite possibly could have stabbed someone and not remembered it.
