Queensland police have launched a homicide investigation after a man was allegedly stabbed to death in a Thai restaurant. 

Nationals leader David Littleproud says the Queensland government has “lost control” of its streets.

A police spokesperson said officers on their arrival found a man with “multiple serious injuries”.

“Despite attempts to revive the man, he was declared deceased at the scene,” they said.
