AI EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Youth in the Kimberley region continue to publish videos of their criminal activities online. This trend persists while proposed Western Australian legislation aimed at criminalizing the posting of such content remains delayed in parliament.
WHY IT MATTERS
The delay in passing specific legislation leaves a legal gap that allows young offenders to continue broadcasting criminal acts on social media without immediate deterrence from these proposed laws.
Young people in the Kimberley are continuing to share criminal exploits on social media, as WA's hardline "post-and-boast" laws stall in parliament.
