The State Government’s youth crime laws have been introduced in parliament.
G-P-S trackers and a presumption against bail are among the proposed changes for serious repeat offenders..
It’s in response to a number of incidents, including the deaths of a pregnant couple in Alexandra Hills on Australia Day – who were allegedly hit by a 17 year old from Logan City who’s alleged to have been behind the wheel of a stolen car.

Proceedings against the Waterford West teen are due to go back to court next month.
