Queensland Premier David Crisafulli used his keynote address to the Liberal National Party’s state convention on Sunday to announce a new ‘breach bail, go to jail’ mandatory sentencing policy. Crisafulli said on Monday that the new policy was about tipping the balance ‘in favour of victims’, while he declined to say what the minimum mandatory sentence would be. Critics of the proposal claim it will place enormous pressure on the state’s detention centres, while the Queensland Law Society has previously warned that mandatory sentencing can lead to "serious miscarriages of justice"
