Queensland's premier says she is comfortable overriding human rights to tighten youth justice laws, but won't say who came up with idea of making breaching bail a crime for children.
The proposed laws also increase the maximum penalties for car thefts, allow police to arrest kids on suspicion they may breach bail and make courts take into account - during sentencing - crimes that serious repeat offenders could hypothetically commit in the future.
When asked if she was comfortable overriding her own human rights laws, despite widespread criticism from watchdogs and charities, Premier Annastacia Palaszczuk said she was.
