## Resource

Queensland barristers are urging a pause on new bail laws that could mandate 12 months jail for certain bail breaches, arguing the High Court’s upcoming ruling on similar Northern Territory laws is crucial. Over 250 submissions highlight concerns: the laws may clog courts, jam detention centers, and impose disproportionate punishment. Critics—including the Queensland Bar Association, police union, and human rights groups—warn the data doesn’t justify overriding fundamental rights, and urge waiting for the High Court’s verdict before proceeding.
