Reporter Peter Ford moves to Gold Coast citing crime, despite Queensland's higher

Entertainment reporter Peter Ford moved to Queensland's Gold Coast this week citing Melbourne's crime problem. Australian Bureau of Statistics data shows southeast Queensland's interstate migration dropped 40 percent from 2021-2025, while Greater Melbourne's net migration rose 112 percent over the same period. Queensland's crime rate for theft, assault and burglary exceeds Melbourne's, potentially undermining Ford's relocation rationale.
