Queensland’s youth criminals will be given adult sentences under a new plan from the state’s Liberal National Party, but Premier Steven Miles has dismissed the idea.
'Another four word slogan': Qld Premier Steven Miles hits out at David Crisafulli over proposed 'adult time, adult crime' policy
“If you murder someone, that’s an adult crime; adult time. If you wound someone; adult crime, adult time,” Mr Crisafulli said. Mr Crisafulli said the policy would act as a strong deterrent to combat the state’s youth crime crisis, pointing out the Sunshine state had more victims of crime in 2023 than either Victoria or New South Wales despite their lower population.
However Queensland Premier Steven Miles hit out at the proposed laws, branding the policy “another four-word slogan”.
