Itā€™s not the government though? Itā€™s a judicial issue.

Correct. But government write the laws. They invest or ignore public housing or rehabilitation programs, drug policies. edit: Also need to point out that facts have not baring on a channel 7 ā€œspecial ā€œinvestigationā€ā€

Do you think the Government should make it illegal to invade peopleā€™s homes and kill people? I thought that was already against the law.

Iā€™ll be honest, I donā€™t know what the solution is. Iā€™ll be the first to say that. I think its a balance of having serious consequences (a dude bashed a woman but was back out on bail!?) and proper rehabilitation and support services. Mental health is a joke in this country. Addiction is worse. It used to take a village to raise kids, now we have a lot of people on their own in tight economic times and we wonder why kids are falling through the cracks.

But I think we elect people to figure out solutions to problems, and instead theyā€™ve declared this one too hard and stuck their head in the sand. Iā€™m not worried about today. Iā€™m worried about where this all goes in 20 years time.
