Queensland Premier ‘needs to explain himself’ for laughing at youth crime question

Nationals Senator Matt Canavan says the Queensland Premier’s behaviour when asked about youth crime was “bizarre”. The Queensland Premier Steven Miles laughed when he was asked about the absence of youth crime mentioned in his speech to the Queensland Media Club. Mr Canavan told Sky News host Andrew Bolt that the Premier “needs to explain himself”. “Particularly given that he’s been part of a government that has weakened youth justice laws. “It’s left Queensland with far too many violent criminals let out of situations where they just shouldn’t be on our streets.”
