Australia has perhaps the best leagle system in the world and we certainly do not need to bring back the death penalty.
The crimes act prescribed appropriate penalties however it would seem these offer only a guide in sentencing. Once the crime is proven the penalties in the act should be followed rather than being watered down for one reason or another. So my suggestion is to follow the law rather than submissions as to why the defendant is not such a bad fella and deserving of consideration which are irrelevant to the crime committed.
