Reinstating breach of bail as an offence in Queensland would not have any impact on youth crime, the state government says.
More than 49,000 people have signed a state parliament petition, started by Liberal National Party Mayor of Redlands Karen Williams, calling for breach of bail to be listed as a crime.
Ms Williams lodged the petition last week following the sentencing of a teen who was on bail when he crashed a stolen car killing a Brisbane couple on Australia Day in 2021.
