I think that ttbn's right in this case Paul.
A lot of out of control young people destroying whole rural towns where police pretense in minimal.
Laws need to be changed, if kids are doing crime and the punishment isn't tough enough that they laugh at the courts and go strait back out to commit the exact crime again, then things need to change.

It's not like these kids are just drinking alcohol or smoking weed or pinching stuff from the local shops, they're armed and attacking vulnerable people in their own homes and getting away with it.

"Since the untimely demise of the Fuhrer I do believe Judge Freisler of the Peoples Court is available. No namby-pamby nonsense with Judge Freisler, a bit of piano wire around the neck, does wonders for the guilty."

Why is that when Paul's got nothing useful to say he says it in the voice of a psychotic 7 year old?

I'm not against holding judges to account. Its long overdue. I just don't see how setting up yet another government body will make the slightest difference. Inevitably these boards become the creature of the left and end up existing to protect the judges with the 'correct' views and to prosecute those who indulge in wrong-think.

Conquest's second law of politics....
"Any organization not explicitly right-wing sooner or later becomes left-wing. "

Rather than set a body, just make judges term limited. After, say, 5 years, they get turfed but can be reappointed by the relevant government. Additionally, any judge that has three or more judgements overturned or materially altered in that 5 year period is ineligible for reappointment. Finally, if criminal that a judge allows out on parole or bail, commits a crime whole on bail, the judge can be sued by the victims.

Then we'll have some real accountability.

Hi AC,

Politicians have the power to make laws, and set minimum sentences etc, sentences can also be appealed. The type of offences that are being talked about here, are mostly state criminal matters. A so called independent (political) board with the power to sack judges, would not pass the High Court. The LNP in Queensland has introduced a catchy slogan "Adult Crime Adult Time" for youth offending, so far the evidence shows an increase in detention, particularly in watch houses, with no evidence of a reduction in crime. Young people exposed to adult criminals, tend to be worse offenders upon release. The problem is far more complex, and can't be solved with a simple, "throw away the key" mentality. Is there a solution to what is a growing problem, no one has came up with a decent answer yet.

Singapore just displays the total dishonesty and foolishness of every leftist dogma and lie that they regurgitate daily. Many ngo's especially in Indigenous communities would be out of work if they did the work they are paid to do.

Hi Paul,
5 minutes after posting the previous comment I saw this.

Good Samaritan not expected to survive youth gang attack

Just sick of hearing about this kind of stuff.

"A 13-year-old boy has been bailed, but police are urging the court to keep the three others behind bars, saying the community would be outraged if they were freed"

If police are urging the courts not to give them bail, then already the system is broken.

From your comment:
"So far the evidence shows an increase in detention, particularly in watch houses, with no evidence of a reduction in crime."
- Keep locking up more of them then until there is a reduction in violent crime.

"Young people exposed to adult criminals, tend to be worse offenders upon release."
- Maybe but if so just send them back.

"The problem is far more complex, and can't be solved with a simple , 'throw away the key' mentality."
- Allowing little crim kids to get slaps on the wrist and laugh and keep doing wose things isn't working anyway.

The question is do you wan to protect the innocent, or the guilty?

When these kids hurt someone, and get a slap on the wrist, and then hurt another person, whose fault is the second person?

Ours because we obviously didn't punish them enough the first time to make them think twice about going ahead with it the second time.

You talk about separation of the judicial system, well these kids play the system to their advantage.
As long as they do that and think they are in control we may as well not even have a judicial system.

'Done for notoriety among their peers'

I saw 7 kids walking away together at the end of the video.
I think every single one of them should be charged, the entire group.
The judicial system needs to send a message 'enough is enough'.

Or else yes, they should be fired.
