Government MPs to Push for Expansion of Bail Breach Laws After Horror Crash The death of 25 year old Savannah Spence Paige in a car crash last week has reignited efforts by North and Far North Queensland MPs to expand the government's bail breach laws.
The tragedy highlights a deeper issue with the current system: its patchwork nature and lack of cohesion. The Breach of Bail, Go to Jail policy, currently being debated in parliament, only applies to youth offenders.
However, the recent tragedy has brought attention to the need for more comprehensive bail laws that cover adults as well.
