LNP to push through law change to axe truth-telling inquiry as it introduces 'adult time, adult crime' legislation

The LNP government will rush through law changes to axe Queensland's truth-telling inquiry on the first full sitting day of the new parliament. Premier David Crisafulli also tabled legislation for his "adult crime, adult time" policy, which would lead to young people convicted of murder given a mandatory life sentence, with a non-parole period of 20 years. 'They've snuck it in' Inquiry chair Joshua Creamer said the government had lost "significant trust" with the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander community, and "taken them for granted". The LNP's leader of the house Dr Christian Rowan said it was important the amendment bill was debated and passed on Thursday "because time is of the essence," particularly around infrastructure for the 2032 Games. 'Adult crime, adult time' Children found guilty of murder would face mandatory life imprisonment with a non-parole period of 20 years under the government's Making Queensland Safer bill introduced on Thursday.
