one of the main notes about how australia is constantly trying to lower the criminal age of responsibility: if you've lived around non-black people in australia, you'll almost certainly hear multiple stories of them being let off the hook for a crime they did as a minor, being given only a warning at the cop's discretion. you'll rarely hear the same story from Black or Aboriginal people, because it's not a grace that they are afforded. the policies around the criminal age of responsibility are certainly anti-youth, but they're first and foremost anti-black policies designed to give the police more power to colonise by convicting Aboriginal kids. it's obvious why the discourse on the news is always focused on youth crime in rural australia, where there are greater proportions of Aboriginal people
