New laws passed in an overnight parliament sitting have made it harder for young people in New South Wales to be released on bail if they commit a serious offence, Sky News political reporter Julia Bradley explains. Sixty organisations had written to the Premier to oppose the reforms, which they say will not address the youth crime issue. NSW Premier Chris Minns maintained he did not want to see a “cycle of crime, arrest, bail, repeat” in his state. New legislation also targets youth who film their crimes and post them online, authorising a two-year jail term. Experts fear the laws may do more damage than good.
