For a gov to repeatedly breach its own Human Rights Act to create new laws so it can lock up more children, something is seriously wrong in this country.

The Qld government has suspended the state's human rights act for the second time this year so that it can imprison children in watchhouses “even if it would not be compatible with human rights”. @GuardianAus
