10 years? That's a really small sentence for killing someone? The justice system in Australia is pathetic...or is it a government money-saving ploy to avoid overcrowding and reduce costs on building more prisons? Who knows

10 years for killing someone we have a big issue in this fucking country

Another one, what do you have to do to receive a life sentence in this country. Appalling.

Ten years, what out in 7....our justice system is appalling.

A great platform that can make everyone smile, for my first time hearing about making money online, I thought it was fake but when I give it a try i realize that it is real so I won't keep silent I need everyone to smile like me _markharold
