Bree James MP 28/08/2026 1:17 pm

Our courts must be places where consequences mean something. That is why this Government is reforming bail. We will have the strongest bail laws in the country.

Today I welcome the introduction to bail reform. A minimum mandatory sentence of 12 months. Twelve months. Real consequences. A safer Queensland.

Bree James MP 25/08/2026 4:22 pm

The Premier was in Cairns discussed why bail reform is so important and I think he sums it up perfectly. If you breach bail and go on to reoffend, it's not bad luck, it's bad behaviour. And it needs to be stopped. Thank you Premier, for listening to my community

Why we Need Breach of Bail Reform

Bree James MP 25/08/2026 4:21 pm

When a serious repeat offender is back out on the street, people understandably ask: “How is this happening?” To understand that, you need to understand who does what in our justice system. I hope this video helps explain things and why I am pushing so hard for bail reform.
