Dear reader, we wholeheartedly agree with the N.T Chief Minister… (Big Chiefy), that a hole needs to be dug in the N.T, to put all the “Bad criminals in”. We feel it is incumbent upon ourselves to offer a few suggestions on what may work, and hope it progresses real justice in the NT.
Clearly Prisons don’t work, and a big hole could be just the trick. We may offer the N.T advice on how to keep those pesky U.N conventions off his back whilst we’re at it.
We have many wise heads in Australia who have a proven track record in these affairs. May our current federal ministers learn from the wise men of justice, Phillip Ruddock, and George Brandis. Doubtless incarceration of all those crims (of whom 90% may be the traditional owners) will make us safe.
Why should we paraphrase? Let me Giles speak for himself:
“It is not the portfolio I really aspire to but, if I was the prisons minister, I would build a big concrete hole and put all the bad criminals in there. ‘Right, you are in the hole, you are not coming out. Start learning about it’,
“I understand there are rules which guide the prisons in Australia and the United Nations, and how we use basic human rights in the treatment of prisoners … what I do not understand is how we are soft, flaccid, and incapable of punishing prisoners in our corrections system …
“I might break every United Nations convention on the rights of the prisoner but, ‘Get in the hole.’ “
