Extremely inappropriate use of image on front page

This casual display of violence should never be promoted on any individual and it's extremely inappropriate.

JUST wanted to send a quick note to say that I find it extremely discomforting for the front page (Daily, May 20) to depict a crosshair over Annastacia Palaszczuk's photo.

Regardless of which party the publisher or readers support, this casual display of violence should never be promoted on any individual and it's extremely inappropriate.

I do hope this is taken into consideration as this is where radical acts of violence can easily stem from - by seeing this sort of behaviour as an acceptable commonplace.

Please be more responsible for your imagery and content in future.
