In short:

The Northern Territory has passed new laws that lower the age of criminal responsibility to 10, about two years after the previous government raised the age to 12.

It comes a day after the Country Liberal Party government pushed through tougher bail legislation and extra powers for police as part of a suite of law and order changes.

What’s next?

New laws on public drinking and assaults on workers are expected to pass when parliament resumes next week.

        Thinking about it, let’s just do it properly.

        Only approved high quality people like us should have children.

        We can sterilize everyone else.
