Many Australians are concerned with alleged violent criminals being let out on bail and when they are found guilty, receiving relatively light or non-custodial sentences.
It is a worrying trend when people feel safer in the hands of the big tech companies than they do in the justice system .

This erodes the public’s confidence in the integrity of a system that has stood for the test of time.In response to the appalling statistic that 31 per cent of the NSW prison population is Aboriginal, a letter writer asked what local Aboriginal communities are doing to fix this problem .

Australia emphatically said no to giving First Nations People a voice in coming up with solutions.
