Summary
Northern Territorys new youth justice laws allow police to hold kids in watch houses for up to 48 hours and question them without an adult in serious public safety situations. Youth advocates argue this exposes kids to trauma and infringes on their rights, while police defend it as necessary for urgent cases. The bill is now in parliament, sparking a debate on balancing community protection and youth welfare in Australia. Support the show: Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
