No, Jayb, the asylum seekers bit was something you made up in your own mind. I still have no idea where you got it from, but I've corrected you a couple of times now.

You see? This is what I mean about not being able to discuss anything with you.

In ten years on OLO, I have still never so much as commented on a thread that had anything to do with asylum seekers. I don't see the point when no-one here understands the difference between an asylum seeker and an illegal immigrant.

But it's interesting to see that you are opportunistic enough to take advantage of my announced departure to give that bizarre 'asylum seeker' bit another crack. If you happen to find the discussion you're referring to, be sure to link me to it, won't you?

Hi there JAYB...

CHRISGAFF1000 is far better placed and eminently qualified to answer your inquiries apropos the various machinations of the judiciary. He was a NSW Police Prosecutor, and spent much of his day in the Magistrates Court, representing the Crown vide the Police in criminal matters.

I would rather see a system that rewards good behaviour by allowing the crim out once their term is served, be it 5, 10, 20 years, then apply extentions for bad behaviour.

This way, a 20 year sentance is just that, 20 years, provided the crim his/ her attitude and behaviour display what is require to be released back into general society. The word 'parole' should be found in history books but never used again in real life. At least then there may be some deterant for offenders, especially re-offenders for which there appear to be many.

Wouldn't a panel of 3 judges be better than 1.

I read an article after the Jill Meagher murder, that Said over a dozen people had been killed by people on parole.
I know a few cases where that has happened myself.

And there have been 3 or 4 people killed by parolies since Jill Meagher already.
every time the government professes to be looking in to it. But nothing changes.

I may have you confused with the other Lawyer on here, If so, sorry AJ. You know, the one that threatens to sue everybody. I can't think of his moniker at the moment. Didn't you have a run-in with him too just recently?

However; http://www.skynews.com.au/news/national/vic/2017/06/09/teen-deserves-more-jail-for-bomb-plan--court.html

Worth a look. Another Judge shirking his duty. Maybe he's getting a kick back from the mohommadeans, it seems they get bail real easy. Is it because they don't want to upset the Socialist Lefties? Who knows?

Now the mahommedeans want a Safe Place where they can rant against the West & plan their next Jihadi attack.

NSW seems to be taking a step in the right direction by building a separate Jail for the mahommedeans so they don't contaminate the ordinary Australian Crims. At least they'll be easy to control. Pig skin whips should stop their revolts & get them back in their cells fast.

Dear o sung wu,

I gather from a police perspective parole can seem a little perverse but from this study by the AIC it does appear to noticeably reduce recidivism rates and delay re-offending.

On the subject of offenders I am enjoying Mark Twains short stories. Verbosity delivered with such alacrity made me think of you.

From: The McWilliamses And The Burglar Alarm

Quote

Then one night we smelled smoke, and I was advised to get up and see what the matter was. I lit a candle, and started toward the stairs, and met a burglar coming out of a room with a basket of tinware, which he had mistaken for solid silver in the dark. He was smoking a pipe. I said, 'My friend, we do not allow smoking in this room.' He said he was a stranger, and could not be expected to know the rules of the house: said he had been in many houses just as good as this one, and it had never been objected to before. He added that as far as his experience went, such rules had never been considered to apply to burglars, anyway.
"I said: 'Smoke along, then, if it is the custom, though I think that the conceding of a privilege to a burglar which is denied to a bishop is a conspicuous sign of the looseness of the times. But waiving all that, what business have you to be entering this house in this furtive and clandestine way, without ringing the burglar alarm?'
"He looked confused and ashamed, and said, with embarrassment: 'I beg a thousand pardons. I did not know you had a burglar alarm, else I would have rung it. I beg you will not mention it where my parents may hear of it, for they are old and feeble, and such a seemingly wanton breach of the hallowed conventionalities of our Christian civilization might all too rudely sunder the frail bridge which hangs darkling between the pale and evanescent present and the solemn great deeps of the eternities. May I trouble you for a match?'
