Qld government to change youth crime laws after Emma Lovell’s death“These are tough measures, they will be put in place, and community safety as I said, is paramount here,” Premier Annastacia Palaszczuk said. There is no evidence stiffer sentences deter crime, but if it appeals to the Courier Mail crowd, the Palaszczuk government is always up for it. I would like to know how many of these kids actually get a 7 year sentence, very few would be my guess. The current system doesn’t work and either will this one, it will not deter kids from committing these crimes. Conservative-lite

Tributes flow for Emma Lovell killed in alleged home invasionTributes are flowing for “selfless” and “caring” Brisbane mother Emma Lovell who was allegedly killed in a terrifying Boxing Day home invasion as Queensland police acknowledge calls for tougher laws to combat the state's youth crime crisis. Allegedly killed?!?! This is so disgusting, sadly some people will stick up for the murderous SCUM Qld prisons are over capacity. That's why so many are released early. Before court for the day, magistrates will call the prisons to ask how many can they take in. Government policy is directly responsible for this woman's death.
