This is a state issue not a fed issue, seems you have been given the party line to blame the feds.

This Qld crime issue has been growing for a long time and even last year Palaszczuk was going to get tough but never happened.
If she followed through on her words those 3 people that I mentioned in the post above may still be alive today.

State government failure.

‘Proven to fail’: Annastacia Palaszczuk’s hard line on youth crime slammed by advocates and academics
February 10, 2021

The Premier’s tough-on-youths plan has been branded a ‘knee-jerk reaction’ that will only increase the number of young offenders.

The experts are concerned the raft of new measures are a “knee-jerk reaction” to an infuriated community devastated by a spate of horrific tragedies involving minor offenders and will neither keep Queensland communities safe or help prise disadvantaged kids from a life of crime.

Premier Annastacia Palaszczuk on Tuesday revealed new laws that would lead to repeat offenders being slapped with GPS tracking devices on their ankles as well as tougher bail conditions to ensure more juveniles are kept in custody.
