Back to EpisodesQueensland Commissioner Silent on Crime Bill
Description
Queenslands Human Rights Commissioner, Debbie Platz, has faced criticism for not submitting feedback on a major crime bill, which includes tougher sentences for young offenders, scrapping a drug diversion program, and expanding police powers. Victim support groups back the bill, while health, housing, legal, and youth justice sectors urge changes or rejection. Civil society leaders express disappointment, and First Nations groups warn of disproportionate impact on Indigenous youth. The commission plans a position statement on youth sentencing as hearings on the bill begin this Friday.
