Australian states reject federal bail reform push, keeping strict laws amid ongoing safety vs. justice debate.
Australian states, including Queensland, have rejected national recommendations to weaken bail laws, with Queensland’s attorney-general opposing changes despite a report urging reforms to reduce remand use, especially for Indigenous people and those with mental health issues.
The report, developed by a federal-state working group, proposed presuming bail for youth and vulnerable individuals and treating imprisonment as a last resort.
However, it was not endorsed by the states, and federal authorities confirmed no push for adoption.
Meanwhile, Victoria plans to tighten bail rules for youth accused of violence, highlighting ongoing national tension between justice reform and public safety concerns.
