Queensland Premier David Crisafulli has defended his 'adult crime, adult time' policy after a 13-year-old boy allegedly stabbed a 63-year-old Coles employee. The incident sparked debate about the effectiveness of the new youth justice laws, particularly after revelations attempted murder was not initially included. Crisafulli acknowledged the flaws and promised further changes, stating that 'unravelling a decade of weak laws is a process'.
