Gold Coast Mayor Tom Tate told MyGC he has had enough of youth related crime following several incidents that occurred throughout the city during the week.
Mayor Tate is pushing the state government to implement a number of changes in an attempt to curb youth crime.
Tate has proposed several changes including GPS trackers as well as amendments to legislation and the bail act.
“The Southeast Queensland community has had enough, we are sick and tired of the youth crime, it’s damaging our reputation,”- Mayor Tom Tate
“The way the youth repeat offender has been dealt with, it’s a catch and release scenario. The punishment doesn’t fit the crime.”
