Victoria's Indigenous truth-telling inquiry is calling on the state government to create an independent watchdog to tackle police complaints, a First Nations-controlled child protection system and to stop detaining children under the age of 16.

This is what happens when you don't detain violent offenders. Both out on bail for the exact same M.O. Soft youth sentencing let this happen.

What's your point here? The article you linked relates to a murder in Qld and seems to have nothing to do with the report from truth telling commission.

Yes, an attack in QLD on xmas day by indigenous youth who had done the exact same thing previously and been treated as the truth telling commission recommended: slapped on the wrist and let go.

The truth telling here is that if you let violent offenders walk free they just do it again, it doesn't matter how old they are.

The article doesn't refer to violent offenders? Is this in the actual report from the truth telling commission?
