NT passes law to lower age of criminal responsibility to 10 years old
www.abc.net.auIn short:
The Northern Territory has passed new laws that lower the age of criminal responsibility to 10, about two years after the previous government raised the age to 12.
It comes a day after the Country Liberal Party government pushed through tougher bail legislation and extra powers for police as part of a suite of law and order changes.
What's next?
New laws on public drinking and assaults on workers are expected to pass when parliament resumes next week.
