The Honourable Deb Frecklington

Statement from the Attorney-General

I have today instructed the Office of the Director of Public Prosecutions to lodge an appeal against a sentence handed down in the Childrens Court of Queensland on 13 March 2025.

The sentence was in relation to an attack on a man at Alexandra Hills in December 2023.

In my view, it fails to meet community expectations.

A Notice of Appeal will be lodged with the Court of Appeal registry on my behalf by the Director of Public Prosecutions.

My thoughts are with the victim and his family.
