Kinda sick of seeing these ads and frankly kinda baffled that they payed for them because they felt the need to reiterate that they’re “making us safer”. If they were informing us about how a policy might impact us, I’d understand. Eg “Hey guess what guys! We made trains 50¢ a trip! Saving you X amount a year in public transport costs and keeping more and more people off the road to keep green house gas emissions and congestion down across our city’s exponentially growing population”
The data tells us otherwise. Simply confining them for longer does not make the problem go away, let alone solve the issue – it subsequently extends the legal process and exposes the kids to an environment that reinforces that behaviour. As a friend who works as a counsellor in youth detention put it; “you may as well just give them a million dollars, because that’s quite literally the rough amount it costs the state to keep one child incarcerated for 12 months, and would be far more effective at keeping them off the street and out of trouble”.
“A king who has the need to say he is the king, is no true king”. So if you feel as though you need to tell us that you’ve done such a great job, have you really been doing your job at all?

Yes, all the “Adult crime, adult time” ads are cringe inducing

Obviously I didn’t click yes but I thought this screenshot looks funny.
I got this ad directly under this post
I call it all BS and piss off with the LNP blue everywhere
Maybe if you live in Woodridge you might feel a little better seeing these ads
These are political ads that should be paid for by the LNP instead of Queensland taxpayers.
Spending our tax money to gaslight us
The law change isnt about more jail time, its about more easily being able to put ankle monitors on offenders. Its been on trial since 2021 and now they are expanding it permanently. But keep raging against the Libs if itll help you sleep at night
LNP rusted on base claps this shit.
Okay then but don’t call them if your endanger – It will defeat the purpose of your principles.
And..what does cops have to do with fuel prices…that bit was a little random to me.
If it didn’t, they wouldn’t be doing it. Whether it’s true or not, they only need the voting public to believe it
Queensland is so safe you can’t mention a couple bodies of water without the blue shirts turning up on your doorstep.
Bingo.
This “policy” appeals to older white conservatives.
The experts were ignored.
Trying to be the USA
