They weakened crime laws when they were in Government - and now we know they’d all do it again.

Last week in Parliament Steven Miles and every Labor MP voted against a motion on mandatory minimum sentences for serious offenders who commit a crime while out on bail.

That includes Michael Healy, Labor’s MP for Cairns.

Labor’s weak laws and fewer police resulted in victim numbers surging by 193% during their decade of decline.

We’ve introduced the strongest bail laws in the country to Parliament, with 12 months imprisonment for any offender who commits a serious offence while out on bail.

While Labor tries to weaken our laws we’re listening to Queenslanders and delivering the strong laws they need.

And because of our laws like Adult Crime, Adult Time - victim numbers are falling, but we know there’s a long way to go.

Submissions close on Monday. Please share your feedback ASAP!

The Crisafulli Government has introduced the Breach Bail, Go to Jail and Other Legislation Amendment Bill 2026, delivering the next stage of our Adult Crime, Adult Time reforms and strengthening Queensland`s bail laws.

The proposed reforms include:

✅ Mandatory minimum prison sentences for serious repeat offenders who commit further serious offences while on bail.
✅ A new "high degree of confidence" test, making it harder for serious offenders to be granted bail.
✅ Stronger protections for the community by placing community safety and victims` rights first.

Here in Far North Queensland, people have told me they want stronger laws and real consequences for repeat offenders. Enough is enough. I`ve seen the stories on Facebook and the calls for action.

These reforms are designed to deliver exactly that.

Now I need you to stand up. Submit your feedback. If you support these reforms, it`s important that the Committee hears from you. https://qldparlcomm.snapforms.com.au/form/breach-bail-go-to-jail-and-other-legislation-amendment-bill-2026

Together, we can continue working to restore safety in our communities and ensure Queensland`s justice system puts victims and community safety first.
