"The Victorian government has recently announced a plan to trial electronic
monitoring devices for young people on bail and abandon proposed reforms to
bail laws for young people. This is at odds with their recent bail reforms in
the adult system.

The reforms in the adult system moved back to a model of a presumption of bail.
This followed the knee-jerk changes made after the Bourke Street Massacre in
2017, which caused overflowing prisons and disproportionately affected
Indigenous people."
