Castaway Campaign In Queensland, the United Nations Convention on the Rights of a Child is breached every day as 17 year olds are charged and imprisoned as adults. The Castaway campaign highlights that young people have the responsibilities of adults without the rights of adults, so they are legal castaways. The project will facilitate 100 young people to write 100 individual messages to be placed in a bottle and sent to 100 community leaders as a "message in a bottle."

Dealing with Fine Debt In recent years there have been some amendments to the Fines Act, and some policy changes adopted by the State Debt Recovery Office (SDRO), aimed at making the system more flexible and reducing hardship for vulnerable people. The recent amendments makes it easier for young people (and adults) to seek an internal review of the decision to issue a penalty notice.
