We need to start sending these cunts back to the Stone Age. Queensland could be first but they seem to be blinded by the fight against a racist bogey man that doesn’t exist “youth crime”

If only you could see the 'newspapers' in Queensland, every other front page has 'young crims' scaremongering and they make it sound like Townsville and such are hellholes where people are terrorised by young criminals day and night without reprieve.

Weird how the LNP's only answer to this is 'adult crime, adult time'. Like, literally, zero policies on how to prevent youth crime, how to help children with better education and more perspectives for their future. Nothing. Just harsher punishments.
