Queensland's Premier has announced tougher youth crime legislation: an expansion of "adult crime, adult time" laws that would impose mandatory jail sentences on youth offenders who commit serious crimes while on bail. The policy, reported by ABC News, aims to crack down on repeat offenses and bail violations. The move represents a hardline approach to youth offending and could reshape how Queensland courts handle bail breaches.
