well we have seen the atrocious performace of the head of the HRC. Appointments by lefties have stuffed what was once a safe nation.

Yes I believe it is time & most necessary that Parole boards & judges were "ATTACHED" to their decisions.

If they stupidly let out on the street, dangerous people who then commit offences, they should have to pay the price of that stupidity. They in their action have caused the offence to be committed, so should be found guilty of that offence, along with the perpetrator, & have to suffer the penalty for that crime.

While they can do their bleeding heart thing, of pretending to rehabilitate the thugs at no cost to themselves, that is what we are going to get. It will only be when they suffer a penalty for this, like the public they are supposed to serve, that they will start to put the safety of the public first, ahead of thee criminals.

It should never be forgotten that judges are lawyers first. They have been serving the criminals they represent for many years before they are appointed to the bench, & it appears to be a hard habit to break. Perhaps we need to elect our judges, as many are in the US, so we get judges thinking about who they serve.

Well finally the public see what the coppers have had to put up with for years. A very 'weak' insipid judiciary who are never held to account for their decisions other than the normal appeal process.

Police put it hundreds of hours to prepare a decent brief, only to have some feeble magistrate cut the offender loose, on some mere speculative point in law, allowing him/her a valid reason to do so. Our judiciary work for and on behalf of criminals, most definitely NOT for the public they ostensibly serve?

o sung wu,
I can only agree with you having been "in the boat" myself.
As a police prosecutor the daily frustrations in opposing bail for some crim with
a record dating back to the cot and having a 'beak' grant bail because
'he had to look after his sick mum' or 'bring the washing in' or had bent coppers
supporting his bail application really made the job defeating.
As long s we have the 'Law Society' running the show the cast will be weak, self serving
and completely ineffective.
You will recall "Straw Bail" no doubt, well at least with that form of corruption the arresting
detectives had control of the crim.

Hi there CHRISGAFF1000...

'Straw Bail' mate that's going back a piece eh! Technically corrupt, at least it often kept the public safe, from some marauding maggot going out and doing it again!

In NSW they're going to permit coppers to 'shoot to kill' in terrorists operations eh? Somehow I can see a real can-full of Coronial worms? How will the Courts define; a 'Terrorists Incident'? More often than not, there's a time lag before governments declare something as; 'Terrorist related'? Meanwhile you've dispatched some peanut, and a wise public servant, resplendent in his dusty little office, determines it's NOT terrorist related, merely an ordinary everyday crime. So then you're up the creek on your Pat Malone, probably even shunned by the Association?

I again repeat, I'm so glad I've retired. Stay well ol' mate.

Why is the Law fraternity exempt from Prosecution for their bad decisions? We have a number of Law people on here. Please explain.
