3AW has exclusively revealed the number of youths fitted with an ankle bracelet so far under the state government’s two-year trial to combat youth crime.

Press PLAY to hear the ‘surprising’ figure

3AW State Political Reporter, Stefanie Waclawik, told Heidi Murphy, “[It] is a very small number, and when you think about it, it’s a two-year trial for up to 50 young offenders.”

Shadow Attorney-General James Newbury told 3AW Mornings, ” I think it just goes to show you that the government had a press release and wanted to sound tough with their announcement, but they’re not actually doing anything about it.”
