Easy fix for offenders.
When they build the new rail line (Govt funded by my understanding) to Galilei Basin in central Queensland for the Adani mine, use a branch line to a remote area.
Build a super prison there to hold around 30,000 prisoners ..... Funded by the Fed. Govt. (50%) and each state and territory pay the rest between 'em who each would have x number of beds entitled to them.
If say, Tassie doesn't need the number allocated to them, they can sell bed space to NSW if they need to house more inmates.
Drop a heap of water bores, set it up on solar power and wind generators and what they don't use, can go towards the mines at a cost or go back into the grid.
Lots of out of work miners who are use to FIFO work could get a job building the prison. (Townsville would have a workforce on hand now) thanks to Clive.
So, you do the crime, off ya go to the super prison, opening up space at all the local prisons.
You want bail for robbing a little old lady.......NO, we have lots of room now.
Bring back capital punishment...... You kill someone, we kill you back.... eye for eye, that sort of thing.
The idiot who did the Mel. CBD thing driving through the crowd..... he'd be a good example.
Get onto Texas in the states, they'd have an old electric chair we could use to ge the ball rolling.
Christ, the Lecky section on here could make one out of an old camp chair.
This could work REALLY well and geez, i'd be happy to be the governor for the first year.
The savings over the years would offset the cost of building it.
Built it and they will come.
Oh, I hear you say, how will they get visitors...... they #*#^ING DON'T.
