This is the same Queensland Labor that, last year, voted against a bill to raise the age at which children can be tried as criminally responsible from 10 to 14. I don't know how many people here know ten-year-olds, but if you do the Labor Government (and the LNP) think that they are responsible enough to be locked up in prison.

Nobody should be surprised that Labor doesn't give a fuck about human rights.

It’s disgusting. It reminds me of how backwards Queensland was in the Joh years.

I don't know if I'd go that far, but yeah it's definitely not good.
