Inner West mayor Darcy Byrne says he is working with the state’s Aboriginal legal service and other groups in opposition to the ‘draconian’ bail laws for children.Inner West mayor Darcy Byrne says he is working with the state’s Aboriginal legal service and other groups in opposition to the ‘draconian’ bail laws for children.
The chief executive of the ALS, Karly Warner, said it was “heartening to see that there are forces within NSW Labor that understand what a bad idea this policy is”. Byrne, who spoke out against the laws when they were first floated, said they were unjust and had been “rammed through” parliament. “If there was another option available to us today, to keep these children safe, we’d take it. But there isn’t,” he said.
