If you think that's bad, just look at what it costs to keep 1 person in jail per day. In QLD the cost on the prison farms minimum security costs upwards of $160 a day, almost $60,000 a year. Now considering some of these places hold upwards of 300 prisoners, this is over 18mil a year. Off the top of my head I can think of at least 5 prision farms like this around Brisbane, thats almost 100mil a year; not including Wacol which holds thousands in medium and max; and this is only one sub-region of Australia. The cost alone of keeping prisoners in the system is ridiculous; hence judges who know this sentencing dozens of people a day probley hold back to save some money depending on if they think the convicted can be reabilitated.

You may call me harsh, but this is the only way to deter others and protect our community. We do need the death penalty in Australia. It is time for a change and for our Government to protect our community and do the job that they are being paid for by us.

It's not harsh, its crazy. Unless there is 100% positive way of identifying every crime then penalties such as these, especially the death penalty are unfair. Everyday you hear of stories of innocent people convicted on nothing but circumstantial evidence with no physical proof.
You'd quickly change your mind once a family member or friend was convicted.
