Good morning, Hinchinbrook. ⛈️⚡️
I hope you all weathered the storm last night.
Here’s an incredible photo taken by Jonty Fratus of last night’s lightning show.
If you took a great picture, please share it with us all in the comments.

Making Queensland Safer Bill becomes law ⚖️👮♂️
This evening the Queensland State Parliament passed the making Queensland Safer laws which included adult crime=adult time and removal of detention as a last resort with all members of the House except for the Greens and an independent supporting the new youth justice laws.
Katter's Australian Party supporters should be proud to know these laws included policies that our party has been calling for since 2019.
Now that the LNP has adopted adult crime = adult time and removing detention as a last resort, and in part, our Relocation Sentencing policy, we look forward to continuing our push for mandatory minimum sentencing for prescribed crimes and Castle Law in Queensland.
Below is part of my speech where I expressed my concerns about where these youth offenders will be held.

These laws will only work if judges get on board, changing the maximum won’t achieve anything without the judges doing their part as they currently don’t hand out the minimum. This is by no means a shot at you as you’ve been super vocal and proactive in getting these changes over the line. Appreciate you and the job you’re doing mate
Maybe instead of building prisons we start building boarding schools starting at primary school children. If the parents are neglecting these children and not taking them to school remove them. Take away the parents child support payments and put that towards school fee's the government puts in the rest. Kids can go home for school holidays if they wish or stay at boarding school if home is not safe. This should be for ALL children.
Well done for representing the voice of the community
