“I want Queenslanders to know: there will be more changes,” he said. “And the second tranche of the ‘making Queensland safer’ laws is certainly not going to be the last. There will be further reform in 2025, in fact there will be legislative change in 2025 – and it can’t come soon enough.”

Queensland is among the only jurisdictions in the democratic world to impose adult penalties on children. In extreme cases, children as young as 10 could face mandatory life sentences.

The number of children under 14 in adult police watch houses in Queensland has risen 50% in 12 months.

It's the English convict genes...

Might be an abo. "That's for Captain Cook, ya white c*nt!"

 

[Hirudinea]

@ChevChelios

Well if Abos are anything like our prairie niggers he probably said "That's for Captain Crunch!"

 

[hugh_madd]

@Hirudinea

I think their Abos are generally too low functioning to commit intentional crimes.

@hugh_madd
Been to Alice Springs, can confirm.

 

[ovarieasy]

@ChevChelios
Couldn't be, abos don't know how to use tools.

 

[ChevChelios]

"So, we've determined that we can prevent any future stabbings in supermarkets simply by removing all knives from the stores."
"Sir, what if someone brings his own knife into the store?"
"Impossible! Such a person would have to be a criminal mastermind of such magnitude that statistically he wouldn't exist."

is this set in the future with the 3 sea shell things in the bathroom no one knows how to use?

In Canadian news "Federal Government decided to ban assault-style knives"

[d01tg0d0wn]

just wait till people get killed by a persons bare hands

 

[ChevChelios]

@d01tg0d0wn: Federal government decides to ban assault-style fists

(come to think of it, brass knuckles are illegal, so...)

 

[Hirudinea]

@ChevChelios

Rolls of quarters aren't, just saying.

 

[ChevChelios]

@Hirudinea: Interestingly, hard "knuckles" made of carbon fibre are legal because they aren't made of brass, and didn't exist way back whenever the law was passed to stop leather-jacketed juvenile delinquents from "rumbling" with each other

 

[Hirudinea]

When did you pass the bar?

 

[Picard]

They just need to make it a Knife-Free Zone, problem solved

 

[ChevChelios]

There's a "nuclear-free zone" in Nathan Philips Square in Toronto and to the best of my knowledge it has never been nuked since they put the sign up

@ChevChelios
One can only hope.

 

[Hirudinea]

@ChevChelios

I don't know if you remember that "peace flame" thing they had there but it's gone now, the homeless were cooking on it.

 

[ChevChelios]

@Hirudinea: If I were homeless I'd taking bets on whether or not I could extinguish it with my piss. "Eternal flame my ass!"

 

[Hirudinea]

@ChevChelios

Well you're not the only one who thought that I'm sure.

 

[censorthisss]

They'll do everything except address the actual problem

 

[Hirudinea]

Well yeah, but addressing the actual problem is hard, for some reason criminals won't obey the law. Better just to pull out the smoke and mirrors pray to whatever god you believe in that you're in the ground before civilization collapses.
