General Scheme of the Children (Amendment) Bill 2024: Discussion

That would be incremental; it would start at 23 and would move up to 25. That would make sense.
In his written submission, the Ombudsman for Children recommended that separate detention facilities apply to young people up to the age of 24. Can I get the witnesses' opinion on that? Has this been done in other jurisdictions and does it work?
