Schools Under Siege as Police Powers Expand | Australia News
Description
Two school stabbings in the first week back have sparked a fierce crackdown: police powers are being expanded to allow searches on school grounds under “Jack’s Law,” now made permanent, as authorities push for more officers and insist principals stay focused on education—not policing. Amid rising fears, a 16-year-old is charged with maiming after allegedly stabbing a classmate, while another stabbing in Cairns leaves a teen hospitalized. Parents are criticizing schools for slow communication, though officials assure there’s no ongoing threat and classes will resume.
