The region’s repeat juvenile offenders will be handed tough new sentencing to be served in remote Queensland as part of their punishment.

David Kempton, Member for Cook, said the newly announced boot camp for Cairns and Townsville was part of the State Government's "no tolerance" approach to repeated juvenile offenders.

It comes as the State Government announced the new location of Lincoln Springs Station, two hours west of Ingham, a tough and remote area, to house the region’s boot camp and rehabilitate youth affected by crime.

It means juveniles from the Cook electorate who are sentenced to time in the juvenile detention will battle it out, living and working in a cattle station under tight security, for a month.

"It is no secret juvenile crime has been on the increase over the past few years," Mr Kempton said,

"While we would always prefer to intervene and prevent young people from falling on the wrong side of the law, the reality is sometimes it is just not possible.

"I believe the new location, with its farm-style settings, will be an effective means of rehabilitating young offenders by teaching them the value of hard work and, in turn, giving them a sense of achievement and self-respect.

"It is our hope this new system will help these young people turn their lives around for the better."

Queensland Attorney-General and Minister for Justice, Jarrod Bleijie, said the Lincoln Springs Station would be a tough environment for those who continually muck up.

“The camp, operated by Beyond Billabong, won’t be a holiday for young offenders,” Mr Bleijie said.

“They will be taught discipline and respect, both for themselves and others, and they will also gain skills that will help get them get jobs.”
