143km/hour in a 80km/hour zone in Sheldon

Sheldon got a mention in Day two of the Queensland Easter Road Safety Campaign, but not a good mention:

More than 90 drivers were charged with drink driving while more than 4,200 drivers were detected speeding across the state.

The highest speed detected was a vehicle travelling at 143km/hour in a 80km/hour zone in Sheldon.

During the Easter period, police will enforce high risk road user behaviour including the Fatal Five: speeding, fatigue, impaired driving (drink and drug), failure to wear a seat belt and distraction and inattention in a concerted effort to minimise road trauma.

Preliminary Data for Day Two shows an improvement on the same period for 2013, with the exception of the increase in Speed Camera Offences recorded:
