Queensland proposes harsher penalties for youth crimes, including potential life sentences for serious offenses.
The Queensland government has introduced the "Adult time, adult crime" bill, part of the Making Queensland Safer laws, to toughen penalties for serious youth crimes.
Under the new laws, youth offenders could face life sentences for murder and manslaughter, with other penalties doubling.
The bill also removes detention as a last resort, opens children's courts to media and victims, and prevents wiping youth offenders' records at 18.
Critics, including the Human Rights Commissioner, argue these measures could risk community safety and Australia's international reputation.
