We’ve heard loud and clear that the revolving door of serious offenders getting bail and reoffending must end. That’s why the Crisafulli Government has introduced the Breach Bail, Go to Jail and Other Legislation Amendment Bill 2026, the next stage of our Adult Crime, Adult Time reforms.

Here are three things you need to know:

 Breach Bail, Go to Jail

Serious repeat offenders who commit another serious offence while on bail will face a new offence carrying a mandatory minimum 12-month prison sentence, served entirely in custody.

 A Higher Bar for Bail

For relevant serious offenders, bail must be refused unless police or a court are satisfied to a high degree of confidence that they will not commit another serious offence while on bail. Community safety must come first.

 Have Your Say

The Bill is now before the Parliamentary Committee and submissions are open. There will be people arguing against these reforms. If you support stronger bail laws and real consequences for serious repeat offenders, now is the time to make your voice heard.

You do not need to be a lawyer or an expert. Share your experience and tell the committee why these reforms matter to your family, business or community.

Central Queensland has lived through the consequences of repeat offending. Our voices matter, and we cannot leave this debate to others.

 Submissions close 5:00pm Monday, 7 September 2026.
