Senate announces national inquiry into Australia’s youth justice and incarceration system

Over the last year Australia’s youth justice and incarceration system has certainly had its fair share of media time, with a nationwide narrative of youth crime, offending and tragedy in detention settings
This week, there was an announcement of a national inquiry into this system – what could be an important opportunity to elevate the voices of young people in detention, and to advocate for their rights and best interests.
