In this speech I express strong support for the Youth Justice (Electronic Monitoring) Amendment Bill 2025 and emphasise that I see it as a key part of delivering early intervention and fewer victims. I highlight the Minister’s work and argue that electronic monitoring, combined with counselling, mentoring and curfews, gives young offenders a final chance to change course before facing adult jail. I point out that most youth property offenders stop offending at 18 because of harsher adult consequences, so intervening at 15 or 16 is critical. I reference data showing more than 5,600 curfew breaches detected through monitoring and argue this system keeps offenders at home and reduces reoffending, noting, “Electronic monitoring devices can be the last chance people get before going to jail.” I criticise the former Labor government for weakening laws in 2015 and claim this contributed to a “generation of untouchables.” I challenge the Opposition to declare whether they support the bill and praise the current government’s coordinated, methodical approach to youth justice reform.
