So now a judge has ordered the release of serial rapists Robert Fardon. He is described by philologists as still a significant risk to the community. The Queensland Attorney-General is considering appealing the decision.

The details of this case are not my point, what concerns me is that these judges appear to be more interested in the rights of the dangerous criminal, than the public the whole legal system is supposed to protect.

To my mind there should never be a possibility of a serial rapists. Surely if a convicted rapist is released after a sentence, then reoffends that should be that. They should be locked up & the key thrown away. Any desire to rehabilitate the criminal should not even be considered if there is even a minor chance of reoffense.

In these cases we often see a string of rapes going back 40 years or more. I want to know who is deciding to let them out, & what penalty do they stand to suffer if their decision results in another woman suffering rape, or even murder.

It is about time that justice was fully served. It is only by applying serious penalties to the bleeding hearts who let these people out again & again, will we make these people consider the public, & make our streets safe.

Well, the QLd Govt should make that moron Judge responsible for everything that criminal does. Put the Judge in jail as this would seem to be the only way to make these morons (do-gooders) think.
It needs to be made absolutely clear to Australians that this Judge is obviously a leftie who wants to tarnish the Qld Coalition.

I too am stunned at the disregard for publics safety involved here.
Judges and magistrates seem not to take the victim and our thoughts in to consideration.
Recent events warn, be very careful if this person comes to live near you.

If this rapist was raping men, he would never get out of jail.

It seems like a stupid and wrong decision to let a serial rapist out into the community where he can be expected to repeat.

However the statement, "It needs to be made absolutely clear to Australians that this Judge is obviously a leftie who wants to tarnish the Qld Coalition." is rubbish. We know nothing about the judge's politics or his or her motives.

Leftie or rightie is often just name-calling used against people we disagree with.

if one reads the judge's decision or talks to the judge one may know why the judge did it. Otherwise nothing is obvious except a criminal was released who apparently shouldn't have been released.

'If this rapist was raping men, he would never get out of jail.'

He wouldn't want to. That's the whole point of gaol.
