Strengthening Community Safety Bill 2023
This bill toughens Queensland's response to youth crime, particularly car theft and serious repeat offending. It increases penalties for vehicle crimes, makes bail breaches a criminal offence for children, and allows courts to declare young people 'serious repeat offenders' - shifting the focus from rehabilitation to community protection for this group.

Youth Justice (Electronic Monitoring) Amendment Bill 2025
This bill makes electronic monitoring of young offenders on bail permanent across Queensland. Following an independent evaluation that found monitoring reduced reoffending and kept young people out of custody, the government is removing the trial's restrictions on age, offence type, and geographic location.
