It does not matter how many times you say adult time adult crime. We are all talking about children. Children, children yes children not adults. This language used that children are adults is used as a political strategy to pretend that “crime” will be reduced and this will bring us community safety. Not true Today our children’s humanity will be diminished. #qldpol

The latest Closing the Gap figures - particularly the worsening of incarceration rates for adults and children - underscore the urgent need for policymakers to listen to communities and back community-led, evidence-based solutions. These figures must be reversed.
