Push to reverse GPS tracker laws

- CAITLAN CHARLES

A QUEENSLAND MP has pushed to scrap the “failed” GPS tracker legislatio­n, which he described as a politicall­y motivated attack on some of the state’s most vulnerable kids.

Greens MP Michael Berkman moved a disallowan­ce motion in parliament on Tuesday night, which if passed, would have reversed the legislatio­n that allows courts to order 16 and 17-year-olds to wear GPS trackers as part of their bail restrictio­ns.
