73% Informative
Queensland has passed laws which will see children as young as 10 subject to the same penalties as adults if convicted of crimes such as murder, serious assault and break-ins.
The government says the laws are in response to "community outrage over crimes being perpetrated by young offenders" The United Nations has also criticised the reforms, arguing they disregard conventions on the human rights of children and violate international law.
