What happened

Some supportReported by 1 outlet

Premier Ben Carroll pitched a $204 million proposal to establish a new regime of detention and forced rehabilitation for youth offenders in Victoria. The plan, which includes a new ‘Mandatory Therapeutic Order,’ was described by Carroll as an Australian first. The Victorian Aboriginal Legal Service (VALS) strongly criticized the proposal, calling it a “punitive and unimaginative election commitment” that lacked meaningful consultation with the Aboriginal Community Controlled sector.
