Number of extra beds for adult crime, adult time laws yet to be revealed by LNP government

The new Queensland LNP government is yet to reveal how many extra beds will be required in detention centres once 'adult crime, adult time' laws come into effect. 98.3 per cent of beds are being used in the leadup to the Christmas holiday period - which usually sees an increase in watch-house detention. The Crisafulli government is expected to introduce the crime legislation within the next two weeks.
