✍️ The New South Wales government is proposing a bill that could allow children as young as 10 to be locked up, despite a law meant to protect them from incarceration.
👉 The proposed bill aims to strengthen protections for children aged 10 to 14 👉 The bill includes a loophole that allows prosecutors to rebut the presumption 👉 Critics argue that the loophole undermines the purpose of the law 👉 The loophole could lead to more children being locked up
