The law is a complete joke as one get treated more harshly for trapping an annoying flying fox or keeping an under sized fish or crab than actually commiting a serious crime.

The other bit that sucks is the way many grubs get bail, only to reofend, often for similar crimes.

Our entire system is full up with sh1t scared political correctness. Even Pauline is being called a racist for suggesting serious issues with the salary of the Oz post CEO as it is being called an anti Muslim rant.

Should refugees and immigrants get more lenient sentences in courts?

Why the hell should they? They get enough assistance to enable them to understand Australia and its laws and culture to enable them to comply with the law.

Giving them preferential treatment in the courts is only encourages them to repeat the behaviours that got them there.

For how long would preferential treatment go on for?

In relation to what offences is it proposed they get preferential treatment?

In relation to the example 3 I gave in my first post, I do not understand how any person could expect bail with so many serious charges facing him.

Yet he applied for bail and got it.

I now await for the case to be heard so we may be informed of the circumstances, surely the press will report on this.

Speaking of leniency by the judiciary ? Has the Muslim woman who refused to stand and acknowledge the authority of the Court been charged with contempt yet ? It's my understanding the AG has brought about further punitive measures for those individuals who seek to ignore thus dilute the power of the Court and it's system of law. Why then has this same lady not been placed before the Court in order that she can furnish the Court with an apology, for her past errant behaviour and misdemeanor.

To ensure no further errors of judgement are made by our Muslim folk, the Registrars in all Courts should explain basic Court behaviour and etiquette in and about our Courts and it's curtilages.

"Maximum penalty: 14 days imprisonment or 10 penalty units, or both."
There is discretion allowed to the judge. Maybe Islamic contempt could come under religious conscience , particularly if expressed in non-belligerent tone.

How do you tell the difference between proper questions and rhetorical questions?

Should we care about rhetorical questions which are used as sticks with which to beat dirty smelly foreign devils?
