Queensland opposition reveals plans to tackle youth crime, says detention should not be last resort
Queensland's opposition has called for the removal of the presumption of detention as a last resort for young offenders, in the first of its youth crime policy proposals ahead of next year's state election.
The LNP has accused the government of creating "weakened" legislation aimed at preventing youth crime and punishing young offenders since the Palaszczuk Labor government was first elected in 2015.
Opposition Leader David Crisafulli announced his party's first three proposed changes to combat youth crime on Sunday, declaring Queenslanders had "run out of patience" with the current system.
