The first child to be sentenced under Victoria's "adult time for violent crime" laws has admitted she threatened a taxi driver with a knife before stealing his vehicle.
The 16-year-old girl, who cannot be named, faced the Victorian County Court on Tuesday after committing the aggravated carjacking on February 27, two hours after the legislation came into effect.
Under the new laws, children aged 14 and over who commit home invasions or aggravated carjackings will face the county court where penalties are tougher than a children's court.
