Politics, Police Prisons - Justice is getting dumber and dumber -
Goff, Hawkins, Swain and Ryall 'tough on crime and tough on causes of crime' are at it again.
With the inescapable relationship between crime, votes and prejudice on the hustings, debate has decended to new levels of debasement.
Touting success as failure and failure as success each is outdoing the others stupidity touting bland repression rhetoric over harm reducing regulation. They even call the second highest rate of incarceration in the western world 'a success'. When our prison muster is proof of success God save us from failure... say the Mild Greens.
