The former director of Public Prosecutions says that it's "a recipe for injustice". More importantly, it isn't going to stop anything. Oh, and on top of all that, "king hits" and violent crime has decreased in Australia, so why implement such an idiotic, short-sighted law? Oh, to make the populace who have been riled up by the media feel better.

Mandatory sentencing is a blight on the rule of law, and takes away the point of the justice system.
