Pericles,
Perhaps I'm too slow on the uptake here but I for one can't fathom what that waffle is all about. Just in case I do actually understand correctly & you can't open the link, do what I did. Google QLD Govt vs CMC.
If people think what the Qld Govt did with this CMC crowd was wrong then they should take a deep breath & check what the CMC was supposed to do but didn't.
In a conversation with a magistrate the other day I was told "their hands are tied by legislation." What on Earth are they there for then ? What are we paying them top money for ? To have the crims run the show ? I really can't see how there won't be a rise in vigillanteism with so much injustice so openly on display.

Susie why are brainless remarks?
Sorry old son but that is just about the best evidence people who live in glass houses should never throw stones.

I have noted, with some satisfaction, you have put effort in to your recent posts, A FIRST!
But once again you prove true to the thoughts of many, see you in another thread and hopefully with a touch more respect for others

Belly,
Please read Susieonline's posts a little more carefully & you'll easily filter the nastiness. She does mix a lot of acid into her posts & I will retalliate in kind. I just don't beat around the bush.
Have you noticed how she doesn't answer at all or offer solutions ? It's always some condscending remark, never anything of substance. I don't know about you but I see this Forum as a great place to offer solutions rather than produce some pointless quibble. At times, I feel I have to lower my standard to hopefully stir up some hidden percentage of sense in those posters who only have ridicule to resort to.

Dear Individual,

I, like Pericles could also not access the link
you gave, however I managed to get into the
Courier Mail website and was quite shocked to learn
that Fardon had been released after all. I was
so sure that the man would be kept in jail for the
rest of his life. His victims swear he will re-offend.
I can't understand what the technicality was that got him
off. And keeping him out of jail "under supervision,"
just doesn't cut it with me. If he needs to be "supervised,"
then wouldn't it be simpler to just keep him in jail?
I don't get it. This is a case of "the law," being an "ass."

‘‘because we have a legal system, not a justice system’’.

The Qld Att. geneneral said the above. How true.

"...but is it just me who can't access the article linked in the OP?"

Nope. Me too.

But I enjoyed the laugh of being asked to pay for 'premium content' whilst being subject to strip ads. Made me want to ask to be paid for my time being used for having been forced to look at ads I didn't request.

Is not the basic issue here that governments are subject to the law, not arbitrarily above it, even though they are its creators over time?

Specifically the principle that a custodial sentence once served has been completed unless conditional release conditions were applied at trial.
