Exactly Pete! What ‘pol’ seems to be proposing is a return to the good old days of judicial summary justice – no more messing around with jury trials followed by endless appeals etc – and the guilty miscreants banished overseas to an Australian penal colony for ever and ever amen.
Incidentally, and not many people know this, but the term “Australian penal colony” was derived from the fact that Australia in general, and Sydney in particular, has the highest concentration of homosexual males in the world.
“penal” is an obvious derivation from “penis” and “colony” is equally obviously derived from “colon”. Hence the term “penal colony” refers to the various unnatural practices of the average Australian male…… also known as “widening the circle of your acquaintances”.
I just thought I’d share that with you on this exceptionally cold day.
