As we have a Government that cannot solve certain problems, I thought I would start a thread which will give solutions to various problems within Australia. The first problem I will deal with is the asylum seekers. The simple answer to this problem is to enact legislation that gives a life sentence of imprisonment to any captain or crew of any people smuggling boat who is convicted of this offence. Lets see how many boat people arrive without sailors to sail their boats. Simple.
Nah, fence off a couple thousand acres somewhere, put them all in and make them work the land, grow their own food. We'll put a roof over their heads but they don't get the dole or get to live at large in any Australian community. They can of course apply for residence or citizenship if they wish.
If we incasterate them with some of these slow thinking PC robots, within a couple of days, they`ll get so bored that they won`t be able to get out of Australia quick enough!
"... enact legislation that gives a life sentence of imprisonment to any captain or crew of any people smuggling boat who is convicted of this offence ... " The OP is talking about people smugglers. They have no interest in applying for "residence or citizenship" here: their income is generated from other countries. You didn't read the post properly, did you?
You can not enact harshly unjust punishment for particular offences, under our legal system it will be unworkable. It will be challenged, tied up in the high court for years and eventually fail. The legal system is also about equity.
There must be a penalty imposed for people smugglers. If just one was prosecuted and convicted (i.e.one captain) then perhaps the message would get across and the boats might stop !!
Laws are made by people,therefore those same laws can be changed by people. It may have escaped the notice of the most feeble minded of God`s children, but the topic of this thread is "answers" not , "handicapped thinking". When you mention that our llegal system being about "equality", you failed to clarify that you had to be referring to the PC brand of equality. In the sad and desperate little PC world, "equality" has been redefined to now mean "double standard", or "slimey lie", "cheap and silly dodgy spin", or "cheating". In the real world, the legal system is in fact, a "double standard", or "slimey lie", "cheap and silly dodgy spin", or "cheating vehicle". In the world of actuality, the legal system is a vehicle for the supression of the smaller, by larger and stronger entities. Truth and honesty, morals and common decency are strangers to the legal system. The atmosphere created by our legal system has decayed, almost to the low point of being similar to that of a union christmas party, or an ALP love in.
Quote from the orignal post which started this thread, "The first problem I will deal with is the asylum seekers".
I dont think you get the picture, we currently have hundreds of convicted people smugglers and those awaiting trial in Australian prisons, they routinely get 5 or 6 years if convicted.
Yes, and it appears that you didn't read any further. You either have serious comprehension problems, or are just too lazy to read an entire post. The thread is about punishment for people smugglers. Massive fail. Massive.
I wasnt aware we had "hundreds" of these in prison...if they do reoffend, then theres a good case for the penalty to be increased..after all...our "soft" legal system is always being criticised...thats why crime is committed...the perpetrators know that Australian law is as soft as an unboiled egg...
Unfortunately I cant elaborate too much as that would identify me proffessionaly rather easily but I can say that, reoffenders are in the minority and the adults who get caught are getting 5 or 6 years, that isnt soft. Dont forget these people are gettinga double whammy, their families are deprived of the main breadwinner while they are incarcerated and there is no socila security net for Indonesian villagers who crew these boats. We need to stop the organisors, due to corruption in Indonesia and a feeling over there that a few hundred asylum seekers a year is no big deal this isnt happening. Looking at it from the Indos point of view, they have around 300 million people to worry about and a much lower standard of living, they look at us amongst the richest nations in the world with one of the highest standards of living and think, whats all the hooha about a few hundred asylum seekers? Sometimes I ask myself that too.
