Opinion | "Full credit to the drafters, they’ve left no stone unturned — which is fitting if you’re trying to recreate what you imagine Stone Age justice looked like." @marquelawyers.bsky.social hits out at Queensland's new child crime bill.
Qld's draconian bill not just a sop to Murdoch — it would fundamentally change the justice system
