Treasurer Cameron Dick has taken a subtle swipe at Deputy Premier Steven Miles while trying to distance himself from his colleague’s heavily criticised outburst at the courts over the granting of bail to 13 young offenders.
Miles’ comments – which the judiciary is unable to respond to under the separation of parliamentary, cabinet and court powers – sparked public pushback from Queensland Law Society president Chloe Kopilovic instead.
She later added her voice to similar criticism by youth justice experts and advocates – who recently penned an open letter to both the Labor government and LNP opposition – about the need to consult over the complex solutions needed to address youth crime through early intervention and rehabilitation.
The measures were sparked by the alleged home invasion murder of North Lakes mother Emma Lovell in December.
