" Under recently passed laws in New South Wales, authorities in juvenile justice centres have new powers to control detainees, including using attack dogs.Under the laws, young detainees can also be given medical procedures without permission and they can be isolated indefinitely.Some lawyers, though, are warning that the changes breach Australian and international conventions and could open the Government up to claims for compensation."
