Yes, an attack in QLD on xmas day by indigenous youth who had done the exact same thing previously and been treated as the truth telling commission recommended: slapped on the wrist and let go.

The truth telling here is that if you let violent offenders walk free they just do it again, it doesn't matter how old they are.

The article doesn't refer to violent offenders? Is this in the actual report from the truth telling commission?
