What makes it all the more shitful is that there IS no youth crime problem in Queensland. It was a beat up by the Conservative Party during the last state election (which they won because Queenslanders are the inbred yokel state of Australia).
Queensland is the Texas of Australia so no surprise they’ve gone down this path. The newly elected conservative state government won on “hard on crime” bullshit rhetoric. Queensland has done this before and suffered the consequences of their actions; the same will happen again this time.

It is gross and wrong on all levels. The hidden agenda in there relates to the colour of the youth offenders skin, which unsurprisingly is not white, just to add an extra layer of shittiness to the whole thing.
