Paedophile dad who offered daughter for sex appeals against 'excessive' sentence

http://www.abc.net.au/news/2017-04-18/perth-father-who-offered-up-daughter-for-abuse-appeals-sentenc...

when i read this headline i hoped he was demanding the death penalty.

So 22 years is excessive?

It is like some of our mass murderers or most perverted killers who whinge that their sentences are too long etc

Apparently over in USA, one man recently got 50 years for attempted murder. They surely know how to sentence over there!

Murderers, terrorists, violent people & sex offenders like this-a man who would tie his own daughter down to be raped by other men-not only is 22 years not excessive but i would just add onto the sentence if they gave any grief in jail.

I think sometimes we jail people who might be better off with alternative punishments but the hard core offenders need longer sentences, not shorter.

Not necessarily.........remember the judges who gave wrist slaps for rape in various states.

Yes, you're right. I think it varies from state to state in USA.

But on the whole, I would say their sentences tend to be a bit tougher.

The examples you cited though were shocking, weren't they!

I think that's the problem with so called justice here & probably in US too. It isn't even handed.

But I do think a lot of people are getting sick of all the consideration & legal help given to the criminals and not much to the victims.

when you watch those tv shows of life in prison in the USA against what seems to be life in an aussie prison its like chalk and cheese.

over there there are super heavily controlled with very much a 'take no carp' attitude.

here we seem to almost help the crims get over the wall!

how many times to we see our 'prisoners' going off the radar whilst on 'day leave' or visting a hospital? why are they not shackled when outside the prison with 2 heafty guards in tow?

we have way too many prisoners going AWOL.

All 4 of those judges were democrats. 1st, 2nd, and 4th were appointed by democratic governors. Dare I say...liberals.

The 3rd it seems was voted in. He blamed victim saying she seemed older than she was. She was 14, he was 47. She killed herself before it went to trial.

It's crystal clear to thinking people who is dragging this country into hell.

You have to be joking David.   How much do you really know about life inside Australian prisons?

Those who abscond are usually on day release prior to full release and are supposedly rehabilitated.  Why they bother going AWOL is anyone's guess as they end up back in prison serving more time.

The likes of Ivan Milat and the Skaf rapists are in SuperMax and it is as tough or tougher than any US prison that I have seen on TV.

Any trip from Goulburn to Sydney for the likes of those prisoners involves way more than 2 guards.....3 cars and up to 7 officers is more their style.

As is usual these days, the newspapers are quick to report supposed breaches of discipline in our prisons without knowing the whole story.
