Show Notes
Queenslands Human Rights Commission opts out of crime bill debate, sparking controversy. The bill extends adult sentencing for serious youth offenders, eliminates a drug diversion program, and expands police powers. Civil society groups oppose the bill, warning of potential harm to vulnerable populations, particularly Indigenous youth. The commissions new leader, Debbie Platz, aims for a more collaborative approach, but her teams silence on the bill raises eyebrows. Parliamentary hearings begin this Friday, with a final report due in April.
