The Queensland criminal justice system has come under the international spotlight in relation to its policy on the treatment of 17-year-old offenders. In Queensland, offenders of this age are treated as adults. Queensland is now the only state or territory in Australia where this occurs. This article examines the legislative background to the present situation. The human rights implications are highlighted, in particular through the observations of the United Nations Committee on the Rights of the Child. There are substantive differences in treatment which results when an offender is classified as an adult rather than a child. This article argues that the Queensland government should be encouraged to change its stance on the issue.
