Previously, only decisions to suspend parole were reviewed by the full Board - decisions not to suspend could go unchecked.
Youth Justice (Monitoring Devices) Amendment Bill 2025
PassedThis bill became law.This bill extends Queensland's trial of electronic monitoring devices for children on bail by one year, to 30 April 2026. The extension allows the government to properly evaluate whether the devices are effective at reducing reoffending before deciding the trial's future.
