    The fact that this is the new (liberal) governments first priority speaks volumes. Their approach to crime is all about punishment and retaliation, not about prevention and mitigation.

    Treating ten year old children like adults when they mess up is going to do them a world of harm.

    Oh great, this shit again. First thing Labor should’ve done when they came to power federally was revoke that country licensing deal the propagandists at Newscorp got from, was it the Morrison government?? I’m sure Labor waved ot through also though.
