Queensland’s chief Childrens Court judge has removed a probation supervision order handed to a 13-year-old Townsville girl who stole a car, drove it dangerously and was later a passenger with five other young people when it crashed into a pole and rolled.
Judge rules the “community’s demand for punishment” of a drunk driver who struck and killed a nine-year-old boy on Christmas Day in 2016 was more important than allowing him a license to drive to alleviate personal hardships.
