Dumb government lawyers say no need for Castle Law, cop it sweet
Sending recidivist bail-breaking criminals straight to jail can only be seen as a good move and should be part of a suit of deterrents and rehabilitation, the Leader of the KAP and state Member for Traeger Robbie Katter has said, responding to the LNP’s latest attempt to curb youth crime.
The state budget contained funding for adoption of KAP’s Relocation Sentencing policy, and the KAP’s Castle Law Bill is before Parliamentary Committee.
“Dangerous kids need to be locked up, so it’s good to see the government deciding to stay true to their word on this one,” Mr Katter said.
“They’ve also committed money to implement KAP’s relocation sentencing, which is great, but you have to acknowledge the lack of fanfare around that announcement.
“Relocation sentencing, remote and court-ordered, takes kids away from all their negative influences, and pulls them into line – teaching them the value of work and providing them with real skills. Not a chance to learn from their mates how to be a better criminal while in Cleavland Bay jail, Townsville.
“A decade on from first presenting the concept to Queensland, there’s hope that it’ll become a reality.
“The next chance the government has to provide a deterrent and protect homeowners is to adopt Castle Law,” Mr Katter said.
113,000 Queenslanders signed the largest e-petition in Parliament’s history calling on parliament to put the rights of victims ahead of criminals and enshrine the right to defend your home in law.
“When 113,000 people from right across Queensland take the time to sign a petition it’s hard to ignore. You know you there are plenty more who agree and support the right to defend your property,” the KAP leader said.
“Queenslanders are sick of being scared in their own home, wondering if they’ll be the next victim, while having to consider the consequences of defending their home should the worst happen.
“The government in responding to the e-petition had their lawyers all over it, saying there’s no need to change the law. Well tell that to those who have to spend tens of thousands on legal fees and hours in court, all because the criminals were touted as victims.
“Any would-be criminal needs to be second guessing what awaits them behind the front door. The law must make it clear – a homeowner can defend their home by whatever means necessary, and the law will side with the homeowner, not the criminal.
“Queensland needs strong deterrents, court-ordered remote sentencing, and consequences for breaking bail.
“The Government’s announced two out the three – ball is now in their court to adopt Castle Law,” the KAP leader said.
Meth addict went stupid at my place about 7 years ago, with 6 friends. Armed with a sledgehammer, he tried smashing his way through front door…long story. He ended up charged with robbery, not armed robbery mind you, only two of the other six got some charges too (can’t remember but less than the main character). Anyway, 3 weeks later, right after I drove off he tried to kick in my front door, which was now brand new and very heavy, he got nowhere but left footprints, he was on bail conditions, to stay 200 metres away from me and the house. Next door neighbour rang the cops on him, within an hour he was locked up for two months…When he finally faced court, time served under the bail breach saw him be set free! No more time to serve. The others got nothing more than a slap on the wrist each.

The bloke should have been charged with armed robbery and home invasion, even attempted murder…he only cops two months for bail breach and that is it? How is that punishment? That is what is wrong. That isn’t justice at all. I was going to kill him with my wood splitter when he got through the door, I left hastily when I realised there were many more outside smashing all the front windows like clowns, though I couldn’t help but wonder whether I would get charged if I did get him!!!! That is not fair in that situation! They should have no rights and no protection from the law in such a situation.
[…] 6b – Bail-breaking criminals go straight to jail […]
re: the Constitution, it has been jiggered around and almost certainly never ratified, it has been “used” in good faith
Quite some time ago in the senate Malcolm Roberts said “there are jail cells under the Australian Parliament House, it’s time we used them”.
As for commoners requiring rehabilitation, what’s wrong with chain gangs, why do they need hotels
The headline is nothing but a falsehood. The jails are mostly very full with no extra room. Additional criminals can only be sentenced to jail could only occur if someone is released before their their due time.
Ok, so
Bandaids do not heal deep seated diseases.
Admiralty Law is a deep seated disease.
The cure is to readopt Common law as the original Constitution that cannot ever be altered without a refrendum embraces.
The real problem is that the fake court system of unlawful Admiralty law will not enforce original Constitutional law that protects we, the people and self defence anywhere, not just in the home or street.
Common Law is part of what our original Constitution embraces, but ADMIRALTY LAW IS FAKE/CORPORATE LAW CREATED FOR SHIPPING ON THE HIGH SEAS. IT IS UNLAWFUL ON LANDMASSES.
So the original Australian Constitution already covers selfdefence from home invaders.
Well folks,

Katter’s crew would likely make a positive contribution to Australia’s renewal.

AFTER Mr. Rope and Mr. Lamp Post are done with all the rest, that is.
