CAPALABA Labor MP Don Brown and Liberal Bowman MP Andrew Laming have made up after yesterday's argument over the upcoming youth justice forum.
The pair got into it after Mr Brown refused to attend the meeting scheduled for February 12, saying the forum agenda had been organised by Mr Laming's office under the guise of the Redlands Local Drug Action Team. He was also annoyed that no state MPs had been consulted before the forum was announced.
The Cage Youth Foundation is the agency for Redlands Local Drug Action Team and has been working with Mr Laming's office to organise the forum.

Mr Brown confirmed he had spoken to Mr Laming yesterday evening and he would be attending the community forum at the Alexandra Hills AFC next Friday.
"Andrew has agreed in-principle to return to the original format for the youth forum, which was sent out by The Cage, and to consult with state MPs about the structure and speakers," he said.
He said over the next few days, Redlands MP Kim Richards and himself would be giving their input towards the forum's format and speakers.
The Redlands Ice and Youth Justice Community Forum will be on February 12 at the Alexandra Hills AFC starting at 5pm.
