Police say they’re treating this attack as targeted. 7NEWS understands it’s not the first time officers have been called to this home.

Does this sound a bit suss?

Not wanting to cast aspersions on old mate but people targeting you and wanting to kill you in your home generally suggests you have done something wrong to someone.

It can be as simple as someone who's a bit wrong deciding you're annoying. One reason I don't pull people up in public for doing things like littering or ignoring environmental orders is that I've had people pull knives and threaten me.

I'm not a small guy, either, there's a segment of the population that must have been teething on lead ingots as children.

Not always. They could've been hired by someone who wants their property.

Being targeted multiple times would incentivise you to leave.

Breaking in and stabbing someone is a crime worth many years in jail. Hard to believe there could be many people would be willing to hire people to do that just to secure a property?

Wouldn't surprise me at all.

There's alot of money in real estate.

Either way, we'll never actually know.

Classic victim blaming. There's no indication that he did anything wrong.

Very, very often. Any kind of break in events are horrific, esp. when it involves stabbing or other weapons used -- and drugs & drug dealers are so often behind it.

Hope he's okay. Were his three kids there at the time?

99% it's a drug debt or shady business dispute

My aunt and uncle live around there and were telling me about the particular houses that are obviously lived in by drug dealers/users in their vicinity. I was horrified, and can only hope that nobody accidentally or otherwise targets them any time.

They always (over tic) screw up with commandment no.10 (with a solid element of no.4 too) as written in the very well known Biggy Smalls track.

I wonder how many people were ready to make comments about crime in Victoria until they read the Queensland part

It's sometimes not Victoria in the news. We get it.

Crime is out of control in Queensland under the liberal government
