Until people get locked up and have some sort of consequence the action, nothing is going to change because at the moment people see that they can rob a cart, maybe get locked up, but they'll be out tomorrow for it, or there's some way of putting a consequence to what they're doing. I don't think this is ever going to change.

The challenge at the moment here in Queensland and the gap that I identify, young person commits offense, Young person goes to court for the offense. But that process between committing the offense and going to court is months, and during that period of time, that's when the majority of offending takes place. I've been caught, so I'll just go all out, and the seriousness of offenses rises, the.

Who's to blame, my honest opinion, not the police, not government services, not the young people. I go back to our puzzle piece analogy. You know, I think everyone plays a role.

Everyone is to blame, and no one's to blame because every day there's an opportunity for an adult to see a young person in a different light and provide them with that pathway to being a good human. And every day there's a choice of that young person to be a good human and to feel like they have an opportunity.

I just think that the community values have changed a lot, you know. It's where we're so accustomed these days to seeing a young person in need and stepping back as opposed to stepping forward. A lot of the issues that could be affected proactively with a lot of young people were identified many years ago before they stabbed people, before they broke into a home, before they broke into a car. But we turned our blind eye. We turned the blind eye when they were at school and got suspended for the first time. We turned the blind eye when we saw the neighbors arguing and yelling and just thought that it wasn't our business. We turned the blind eye where we saw the kid walking down the street with no shoes on and just thought, oh, oh, that's horrible. I'll tell my friends at dinner tonight.

You're almost going to get people commit crimes. I don't think you're ever going to get away from that. But like, if you can just help people from a younger age, you know, like maybe they can be identified or whatever, then maybe they can help be supported and you know, guide did better.

It's such a complex issue, Like it's not just a one size fits all, like responds to answer, I understand people need help, but I also can't get away from people being locked up. If you're murdering people, you just think, in my view, and I've never changed that, you've got to be punished for that.
