      Well, Australia was the death penalty back in the day. Damn convicts just kept on surviving.

        They should send him to a remote prison island as punishment, but he’s already on one.

          There’s a small island north of France where they could send him.

      Didn’t the Philippines literally try to bring back the death penalty to kill that Aussie Child Pornograhy producer, Peter Scully.

      That’s a perfect example of why I’m not shocked that this happened in Australia

        First of all, this doesn’t just happen in Australia, and there are plenty of examples of the same thing happening literally everywhere.

        Second, child rapists generally get caught when a child finally tells an adult who believes them and reports it. After that, the flood gates usually open and more come forward. If you institute the death penalty for rape at all, but especially rape of a child, then the rapist has no reason (beyond continued access) to keep the kid alive after they’ve abused them.
