"Recently the Australian Law Reform Commission tabled a report in federal Parliament, Same Crime, Same Time: Sentencing of Federal Offenders, which highlights gross sentencing inconsistencies. The report notes that “offenders who have committed the same crime can receive very different outcomes. To fix this palpable unfairness the report has called for the introduction of a new Federal Sentencing Act to promote “consistency, clarity and transparency”. This is a message that must be heeded by all legislatures in Australia, especially state governments under whose laws most criminals are sentenced in Australia. Following a string of high profile outrageously light sentences handed out to sex and violent offenders, community confidence in the sentencing across Australia has plummeted to an all time low."
