flag Queensland proposes electronic monitoring for children as young as 10 on bail, citing reduced reoffending.

flag Queensland proposes new laws allowing children as young as 10 to wear electronic ankle monitors on bail, expanding a trial that previously targeted serious youth offenders aged 15 to 17. flag The government says the move, backed by a 24% reduction in reoffending during the trial, deters crime and supports rehabilitation. flag Courts would have discretion to impose monitoring after a police assessment, with safeguards including 4G coverage checks and access to bail support. flag The legislation, part of broader tough-on-crime reforms, follows a 16% drop in serious repeat youth offenders. flag A parliamentary committee will review the bill, with debate expected next year.
