Chrisafooli will be expecting his invitation to the Orange One's investiture, I expect.

They’ll be bringing back the cane, next.

Queensland 1 hour & 1 century behind the rest of Australia

I am still pissed off that Christafool got elected. The crime stats don't even warrant this sort of law. To many damn fools who think this resolves the issue of recidivism which is shown to be a bigger issue where youth crime is concerned.

peterb223.bsky.social•92 days ago

Yes agree the Zealots are getting the way , but the question is how soon before Crisafulli gets knocked off

dpxho.bsky.social•93 days ago

Why do we never have tough penalties for politicians…. Or for that matter, business executives, directors, owners etc

rotimanmk2.bsky.social•92 days ago

Echoes of jackarses more like it!

I hope no Judge will go along with this. This is the most despicable thing I've ever heard of. It's barbaric & inhumane.

!!!!!!

Does that mean ten year olds in Queensland can also: use social media; vote; drive; leave school; buy alcohol and cigarettes; gamble; have sex; see a doctor without an adult; move out of home; and sign legal contracts?

Is the next step Texas style ten year olds can get married?

hildabewildered.bsky.social•90 days ago

Can't use social media until they're 16, but can be locked up from the age of 10. Make it make sense.

phillip59.bsky.social•92 days ago

To hell for the children?

basrene.bsky.social•93 days ago

Just when you think it couldn’t be any worse than it was under Bjelke Petersen.

scottletteau.bsky.social•93 days ago

It's not even close. They'd have to reform Special Branch to make such a return.

basrene.bsky.social•92 days ago

Maybe something to keep an eye on.

I'm sorry... if they are stealing cars and do home invasions, just shoot them.

hs247.bsky.social•93 days ago

Lock up the parents in the 2nd step, they are the cause of it.

cmcaddiction.bsky.social•93 days ago

Speaking of Boots.
A Better Productive outcome would be a Similar system to a Boot Camp, where before even contemplating jail, they try using Mentors, Training, Education, Life Skills, Support, Teamwork etc.. Rehabilitation services to help them believe in themselves.
Jail creates Harder Criminals🤦

ardtarig.bsky.social•93 days ago

And will sending children to jail for up to 25 years stop crime ? No

aglikesdemocracy.bsky.social•92 days ago

Back to Bjelke-Peterson days… probably more ways than one.,

hbearbx.bsky.social•93 days ago

Ahh the LNP directory again- stuff the kiddies - lock em up let their teefff rot and stop bloody learning them stuff

seb-gardener.bsky.social•92 days ago

The whole country is the same

jacintaarnold.bsky.social•92 days ago

So ashamed to be a qlder.

stimpysimpson.bsky.social•92 days ago

He is the middle management twerp at the insurance company who just loves denying claims

wendylyn.bsky.social•92 days ago

Its shameful. Populist clap trap, which will cause real harm

duncanwatson8.bsky.social•93 days ago

And who was instrumental in creating the climate of fear that made this draconian legislation seem desirable & necessary? Step forward, Murdoch's corrupt, toxic & cretinous Courier Mail, whose rabid ravings were slavishly echoed & amplified by what QLD commercial TV channels laughingly call news.

lefty003.bsky.social•92 days ago

Murdoch likes to own governments and he owns the Qld LNP 100%.

judestclement.bsky.social•92 days ago

LNP must’ve discovered a time tunnel back to the 80s (cartoon by Alan Moir).

greg-greenwood.bsky.social•93 days ago

It's what Queenslander's voted for! Just like NT!
We live among deplorable people

thommo67.bsky.social•93 days ago

He’s a fucking lunatic

jennidore.bsky.social•93 days ago

Yep and amazingly the majority of Queenslanders voted for exactly this! It was one of the LNP's major slogans throughout the election campaign. "Adult crime Adult time". If any Queenslander says they did not know they are either lying or living under a rock. 🙁
