Attorney-General and Minister for Justice and Minister for Integrity
The Honourable Deb Frecklington

Statement from the Attorney-General 

The heartbreaking loss of innocent mum, Emma Lovell, laid bare the horrifying realities of Queensland’s Youth Crime Crisis.

I know this sentence will not meet community expectations; it does not meet mine.

This is why the Making Queensland Safer Laws are the Crisafulli Government’s absolute priority.

I will be considering all aspects of today’s sentencing and obtaining further advice about the legal options available to me.

My thoughts are with the Lovell family.
