If the state premier makes these sort of statements -
"It's an appalling situation," Mr O’Farrell said. ‘‘Like members of the community, I’d like to see these people locked up forever and the key thrown away.
‘‘But unfortunately, that’s not how the legal system in this country works.’’
(The state attorney general has also made similarly limp statements about the parole system lately)
What chance do we have for some decent laws reflecting what the community obviously wants - violent offenders (esp repeat/sex offenders) to be incarcerated for as long as it takes, to keep the rest of us safe from them....
If our politicians seem to think its too hard to change, we're in trouble....
