00:00Just months after passing their adult crime, adult time laws, the government is already
00:07expanding them.
00:08We will continue to enact tougher laws and give our police more resources.
00:12Juveniles who ram police cars will soon be sentenced as adults.
00:16Young offenders who commit that offence will face 14 years in prison.
00:21Cabinet has signed off on the new laws.
00:24Other offences to be covered include attempted murder, rape, aggravated attempted robbery,
00:29arson and torture, as well as trafficking dangerous drugs, endangering a police officer
00:35when driving a motor vehicle, attempt to commit rape and assault with intent to commit rape.
00:41David Christopher Lee's next trench of proposed laws are an admission that the LNP bungled
00:48their signature laws.
00:50The government believes the reforms are delivering results.
00:53What we've seen over summer, and it is only early days, is a decrease in those crimes
00:57often committed by juveniles and those crimes that people are most concerned about.
01:01The LNP rushed through these laws that clearly are not working.
01:06As the government and opposition spar over crime policy, new polling shows the LNP with
01:12a sizeable lead over Labor.
01:14The poll of 1,500 Queenslanders was conducted by Redbridge Group in the week before the
01:20government announced its final Olympics plan and has the LNP leading Labor 56.5% to 43.5%
01:29on a two-party preferred basis.
01:31I think Miles is now discovering what it is to be an opposition leader and an opposition
01:35leader where there's a government that is relatively popular.
01:39Well it's not too far from what the election said was the view of Queenslanders not that
01:43long ago.
01:44We've got a big job to win back their support but we're focused on doing that.
01:47It's a long road to the 2028 election.
