Legislation was passed in the Queensland Parliament this week making various changes to corrective services legislation within Queensland. One such change was to criminalise the act of adult prisoners gaining access to restricted areas of correctional centres, namely rooftops.
KATTER’S Australian Party MP Bob Katter is frustrated with the “revolving door” of youth crime policy, sympathising with Queensland’s juvenile offenders caught up in the system, following an alleged break into his Mount Isa electorate office late Sunday night.
Youth crime in Queensland has surged to catastrophic levels following the tragic and senseless crash in Maryborough over the weekend that left three people dead and another critically injured. The vehicle that caused the carnage was allegedly stolen and being driven by a 13-year-old boy who was known to police.
Katter’s Australian Party Leader and Traeger MP Robbie Katter has called on Police Minister Mark Ryan to rule out on what he believes could be the “systemic, chronic and possibly deliberate” under-reporting of crime across Queensland.
Long-serving Townsville Mayor Jenny Hill has thrown her support behind Katter’s Australian Party’s (KAP’s) Relocation Sentencing Policy, publicly advocating for the alternative sentencing model alongside a raft of other changes in a bid to address youth crime.
