This is the best summary I could come up with:


The husband of a Brisbane mother-of-two killed in an alleged home invasion on Boxing Day last year says he feels "let down" by the system.

Lee Lovell was one of hundreds to march on Brisbane Parliament House on Wednesday to demand tougher sentences for young offenders.

Judy Lindsay, whose daughter Hayley was killed by a drunk driver in 2009, said she didn't know where to turn when it happened.

After the rally Police Minister Mark Ryan announced a new "rapid response" youth crime task force.

Mr Ryan said Taskforce Guardian would target "problem-areas" with a view to building "positive rapport" with high-risk young people.

"Serious repeat offenders can be sentenced for longer periods of time to protect community safety and allow for more intensive rehabilitation," Ms Palaszczuk said.
