Fair warning about fire risks in Australia.

The only thing I don’t like about the comments here is the focus on fires that had a direct impact on livelihoods.

There have been several recent fires that didn’t directly affect communities. But it proved that regions that have never experienced fires for tens and hundreds of years are now at risk.

Those who wish to do us good. The passage of the legislation to lower the age of criminal responsibility to 10 in the Northern Territory came with a number of CLP members stating they didn't want the change to result in more kids in youth detention. #ntpol https://www.theguardian.com/australia-news/2024/oct/19/nt-age-of-criminal-responsibility-clp

Northern territory lowers age of criminal responsibility to 10
Children as young as 10 could face jail after the Northern Territory parliament last night passed a law to lower the age of criminal responsibility, Australian Associated Press reports.

After the Territory recently became the first jurisdiction in Australia to raise the age to 12, the incoming government has moved quickly to return it to 10.

The parliament passed three changes to youth justice laws last night that include lowering the age of criminal responsibility along with criminal provisions for ram raiding and boast-and-post laws.

Under the existing criminal code, a person can be charged for ram-raiding a property in the Northern Territory, however the new legislation could have children as young as 10 sentenced to up to 10 years in prison.

The NT chief minister, Lia Finocchiaro, said Labor had raised the age of criminal responsibility without having any programs in place to deal with the fact that 10- and 11-year-olds would no longer be held accountable for their actions.

We know reverting to a system where it is the judge’s discretion around what to do with a 10- and 11-year-old creates much better opportunities for authorities to intervene early in their lives.
