ABY BUT IN ALLCAPSSince the LNP first introduced the draconian and outrageously dangerous Adult Crime, Adult Time legislation, Sisters Inside have spoken out against its inherent injustice‘The Queensland Government cannot continue to ignore the fact that this punitive approach will only cause more harm. Evidence from around the world shows that treating children as adults in the criminal legal system increases recriminalisation and perpetuates cycles of violence and disadvantage. These policies are not about public safety—they are about political expediency, fearmongering, and the continued criminalisation of Aboriginal children,’ Debbie Kilroy<a href="https://sistersinside.com.au/sisters-inside-condemns-the-expansion-of-adult-crime-adult-time-laws/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://sistersinside.com.au/sisters-inside-condemns-the-expansion-of-adult-crime-adult-time-laws/</a><a href="https://aus.social/tags/AusPol" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#AusPol</a> <a href="https://aus.social/tags/Australia" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Australia</a> <a href="https://aus.social/tags/QLD" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#QLD</a> <a href="https://aus.social/tags/QLDPol" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#QLDPol</a> <a href="https://aus.social/tags/Criminology" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Criminology</a> <a href="https://aus.social/tags/CriminalJustice" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#CriminalJustice</a> <a href="https://aus.social/tags/Crime" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Crime</a> <a href="https://aus.social/tags/Youth" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Youth</a> <a href="https://aus.social/tags/YouthCrime" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#YouthCrime</a> <a href="https://aus.social/tags/Aboriginal" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Aboriginal</a> <a href="https://aus.social/tags/Indigenous" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Indigenous</a> <a href="https://aus.social/tags/Decolonise" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Decolonise</a> <a href="https://aus.social/tags/AbolishPolice" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#AbolishPolice</a> <a href="https://aus.social/tags/AbolishPrisons" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#AbolishPrisons</a> <a href="https://aus.social/tags/Abolition" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Abolition</a> <a href="https://aus.social/tags/CommunityNotCops" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#CommunityNotCops</a> <a href="https://aus.social/tags/NoJusticeNoPeace" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#NoJusticeNoPeace</a>[shared from the SistersInside Facebook page]

David MarlerHere we go again, LNP suspending human rights of the child as Labor mistakenly did. The Qld LNP Crisafulli govt is attempting to instruct the courts as they did under the Newman government. +200 years of incarceration in this nation & we've learnt nothing. Come on. <a href="https://aus.social/tags/qldpol" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#qldpol</a>

David Marler"The Crimes That Matter". This is Ch9 journalist Carrie Greenbank in 2014 reporting on the Newman Government's claims on crime. What's different to today's reporting is she actually goes & checks the claims.Like, wow Qld. <a href="https://aus.social/tags/qldpol" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#qldpol</a> <a href="https://youtu.be/1Ti9Kq3lYG8?si=mTnoLz0pwW0NGYd3" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://youtu.be/1Ti9Kq3lYG8?si=mTnoLz0pwW0NGYd3</a>

David MarlerAbout mid-2014 the Newman government began to realise it was in political trouble. They began playing around with the crime statistics & we ended up with a claim of a 10-11% drop in crime. They had grouped stats into the "crimes that matter". <a href="https://aus.social/tags/qldpol" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#qldpol</a> <a href="https://nofibs.com.au/factcheck-queensland-crime-statistics-get-newmaned-qldpol-qldaah/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://nofibs.com.au/factcheck-queensland-crime-statistics-get-newmaned-qldpol-qldaah/</a>

David MarlerThe Qld LNP are being selective with the state's crime data. Watch Police Minister Dan Purdie try to walk back the "important" crimes gaffe. The Newman government did similar by organising stats into the "crimes that matter" & excluding issues like DV from the data set. <a href="https://aus.social/tags/qldpol" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#qldpol</a>

David MarlerWith no "expert advice" details released, the LNP government appears to be performing a cabinet shoutout of offences to add to their youth justice laws. They're heralding decreases in "important" crime which is similar to the Newman era where they excluded DV data for the "crimes that matter". <a href="https://aus.social/tags/qldpol" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#qldpol</a>

David MarlerThe Courier Mail & the LNP media unit have steadily been introducing this myth of "King David", making Premier Crisafulli into a ruler over Queensland. That would be consolidation of powers against the separation there of. <a href="https://aus.social/tags/qldpol" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#qldpol</a>

David Marler"Rarely used". Architect Michael Rayner began planning a Victoria Park Barrambin development 6 years ago. David Crisafulli's Olympics stadium review allowed him to re-present his 2019 proposal.The old concept of terra nullius seems strong here. <a href="https://aus.social/tags/qldpol" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#qldpol</a> <a href="https://www.theguardian.com/sport/2025/mar/31/how-the-architect-who-made-modern-brisbane-shaped-the-citys-2032-olympics-stadium-plans" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://www.theguardian.com/sport/2025/mar/31/how-the-architect-who-made-modern-brisbane-shaped-the-citys-2032-olympics-stadium-plans</a>

David MarlerWait, what? Trial by government if the judiciary doesn't sentence as the government wants? <a href="https://aus.social/tags/qldpol" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#qldpol</a>

David MarlerHaving rushed through the legislation late last year, David Crisafulli is going to now amend the Youth Justice Act to include attempted robbery, attempted murder, arson & torture as adult crimes for kids. No new details on any other measures. <a href="https://aus.social/tags/qldpol" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#qldpol</a> <a href="https://www.abc.net.au/news/2025-03-30/qld-government-adult-crime-adult-time-laws-youth-justice-act/105114250" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://www.abc.net.au/news/2025-03-30/qld-government-adult-crime-adult-time-laws-youth-justice-act/105114250</a>

Andrew RockI have no problem with “adult crime, adult crime”, except when applied to children. Then it’s total nonsense, totally racist nonsense in the main. <a href="https://aus.social/tags/qldpol" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#qldpol</a>

David MarlerQld LNP's Premier David Crisafulli & Brisbane Mayor Adrian Shrinner have now both endorsed Victoria Park stadium. Barrambin is along a songline, it's a Bora & a meeting place for the Turrbal & Yuggera tribes. It's also a massacre site. <a href="https://aus.social/tags/qldpol" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#qldpol</a> <a href="https://www.sbs.com.au/nitv/article/queensland-plans-to-build-2032-olympics-stadium-on-important-indigenous-site/rci58a2jz" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://www.sbs.com.au/nitv/article/queensland-plans-to-build-2032-olympics-stadium-on-important-indigenous-site/rci58a2jz</a>

David MarlerIn news that surprises no one, the property market has its "Olympic Epicentre" flyers out for Victoria Park with the real estate institute talking up sales in the vicinity & with it rents. David Crisafulli's 100-day review was all about prepping the white shoe brigade for the land grab. <a href="https://aus.social/tags/qldpol" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#qldpol</a>
