"Justice Michael Elkaim told the court the images were found by police when they searched his home.

"The telephone contained 67 images of the complainant either naked or in underwear, but all in sexual poses, and also 23 videos of the complainant again showing sexual poses," he told the court."

So after a bit of enticing him she complained.
I don't wonder at the light sentence.

I can't say that I have taken much notice of sentencing when it comes to immigrants. They certainly should not be getting lighter sentences because they are immigrants. The they need to be taught very quickly what is expected of them.

I would be inclined to kick them out of the country. We have our own criminals; we don't need those of other countries.

All sentencing in Australia is inadequate. The people who are supposed to be looking after our interests - politicians - need to start looking into light sentencing and the magistrates and judges who are handing them out.

Dear Banjo,

The Kenyan nurse was neither a refugee or an immigrant as you had claimed in your first sentence. Not having looked up the others I suspect you were loose with the truth about them as well.

As to light sentences are you keeping score of all the senior Christians receiving little to no gaol time for their crimes against children?

If Mr Gong receives a harsher sentence than Mr Byrne will you then call it out or are you determined to stay focused on refugees and immigrants?

"A little while ago an Indian national handed his passport in then promptly borrowed one of someone else and left the country."
OK an Eskimo Hindu studying Manus Island luxury resort management could do a fake dodge. Normally Australian police don't shoot suspects on the spot and try to get verbals typed up which takes a while to get it right.

The real question is should we allow immigrants in who we know are going to cause much pain in society. Obviously people from certain Islamic background falls into this category. Kevin Andrews tried to warn pig headed liberals about consequences of allowing so many Sudanese refugees. He was mocked and labelled racist. Malcolm Fraser was warned about the trouble Lebanese muslims would cause. The ones making the decisions to let these guys in should be gaoled for their pig headed blind ignorance and loyalty to ideology and dogma rather than to Australia. Thankfully most our immigrants (mainly from Christian based nations) are a great asset.

runner - Years ago the Government admitted only a small percentage of the so called refugees were properly checked out, there is the problem unless all are thoroughly checked out we really do not know anything about them.
