‘Mistletoe’ blitz
QUEENSLAND Police Service has begun the annual Christmas and New Year road safety blitz, Operation X-Ray Mistletoe, as the state heads into the holiday season.
With 289 lives already lost on Queensland roads in 2025, Police Commissioner Steve Gollschewski said police would be out in force.
The operation began on Saturday and will run across the entire holiday period, with a targeted crackdown on speeding and impaired driving, including drink and drug driving on both roads and waterways.
Police are to conduct thousands of roadside and on-water tests, supported by specialist officers, mobile patrols and targeted enforcement activities.
