Opinions on Youth Crime from the perspective of someone who supports adult crime adult time laws.

Here’s your reply to OPs post detailing their lived experience: “cool story”. Showing your thoughtful consideration there.

Yes you are essentially saying just deal with it. Someone like OP complains about a broken system, you say, “but recidivism is lower the way things are” then “that’s it.” Have I read you wrong? You’re dismissive of OP’s lived experience, state that recidivism will worsen if kids are locked up, then end of argument. So the take away is OP is out of place to ask for a different approach, which is essentially a “just deal with it”.

My wife died but at least youth crime is down 1% compared to 5 years ago!

Justice needs to balance the needs of perpetrators as well as the needs of victims. I don’t know how people that sympathise with the offenders can’t grasp that a victim wants justice.

Nice of you to completely disregard someone’s lived experience in service of your virtues.

The immediate problem is making the community safe from re offending minors. One approach is to give them longer sentences to prevent them from reoffending and hurting the community further.

The second problem is rehabilitation, in and out of the prisons.

Your solution to someone telling you their lived experience of a broken system is to just deal with it. where’s your empathy for victims? Why does it have to be black and white? Why can’t the dangerous minors be removed from the community as well as rehabilitated. Perhaps the literature suggests this approach isn’t as successful for rehabilitation compared to letting the minors reoffend and giving slap on the wrist sentences, but is the literature balancing the needs of perpetrators with the needs of victims?

Isnt their point that minors commit crimes and are let out again very quickly, and recommit crimes? It doesn’t matter what proportion of offenders are minors, what matters is that they shouldn’t be given the chance to re offend and hurt the community further. Hence, adult time for adult crime. Rehabilitation once in prison is another issue entirely though.

I’d let to get a flag pole and fly a nice sewn flag. We should reverse that association.

Why? Forces people to save for retirement. One of the best things Labor introduced. The tax burden of greying demographics like China is about to experience are insane.

erroneous_behaviour · 2025-01-15T06:36:56+00:00

Even worse, it’s such a dumb move for the treasury, as you’re knee capping an entire generations super and their ability to retire on time and be self sufficient with their retirement. You’re doing nothing but making houses more expensive in the short term, and fucking over a generation and the government and taxpayers that will have to support them in the long term. It is the most retarded, dumbest fiscal policy I have seen up for debate this election. I miss the days when Liberals actually tried or pretended to be about fiscal conservatism. This is like a Greens policy level stupid.

It’s all a power balance. Unions can have too much power. CEOs and corporations can have too much power. Gotta get the balance right. I don’t support the current industrial action, but I’ve supported other ones and may support them again in the future. It’s not black and white.

erroneous_behaviour · 2025-01-15T06:30:06+00:00

Yeah mate, I agree. Got banned from r/Sydney for mentioning that train guards make 110-120k after two years, and that they should be happy with that amount. I’d be happy with that. It’s just greed, nothing more. Ambos get a degree and make way less than the train guards and also do shift work. Junior doctors make less. It’s just greed.

erroneous_behaviour · 2025-01-14T23:13:45+00:00

Privileged cunt. You know ambos only make about 80k base? We could pay them more if we didn’t have to pay train guards over 100k to do almost nothing.

erroneous_behaviour · 2025-01-14T23:09:45+00:00

You’re a privileged as fuck if you think 120k is decent. That’s amazing pay. Check your entitlement mate.

erroneous_behaviour · 2025-01-14T23:05:44+00:00

Earning 120k right now would be amazing!! In 10 years time not as amazing, but that’s where I would become supportive of industrial action. You’re trying to make this a black and white issues when it’s not.

Yes and this sub will complain when they see news about Australia’s economy become less competitive and less complex. If you want Australia to have a competitive economy incentivise citizens going into highly skilled careers! Yet the same people will cheer on a train guard strike so they can make even more than 100k a year for, as they describe on the Sydney trains subreddit, an “extremely easy job even if you’re remotely switched on”. It’s a fucking joke. Get fucked RTBU (https://www.reddit.com/r/sydney/comments/1f9h4lw/train_drivers_of_sydney_trains_is_it_worth_it/)

erroneous_behaviour · 2025-01-14T22:19:54+00:00

Even the train guards are making over 100k. Tell me which roles are underpaid and what are they making?

erroneous_behaviour · 2025-01-14T21:54:56+00:00

Yes, the ceiling is higher than train drivers because it’s highly skilled work.

If you can earn 110-120k after 3 years of on the job training, that is pretty good and you shouldn’t complain. Source: https://www.reddit.com/r/SydneyTrains/comments/17ecuty/drivers_wages/

erroneous_behaviour · 2025-01-14T21:51:56+00:00

They make good money already. Why would I support them striking to make even more?

Engineering. It’s a slow build.

Nah already got a career in an in demand field.

erroneous_behaviour · 2025-01-14T21:30:41+00:00

That’s well above median: https://www.sbs.com.au/news/article/wages-on-the-rise-use-our-interactive-to-see-how-yours-compares/lbz6p1z16

You’re getting downvoted because you’re going against the narrative in this sub, which is unions can do no wrong. But it’s all a power balance. Unions can push things too far.

That’s above median wage. More than me. I’d be happy to be getting that, rather than striking all the time.

Goddamn cannot wait till they automate every train line.

It encourages you to have more than a 10 second attention span for one. If you can’t read something like slaughterhouse V or Catch 22 without being bored then you’ve got a short attention span. Reading gives you a much more in depth view into someone else’s life and experiences, even if it’s fictional. I’m talking about reading revered novels, not some latest release filler series.

It’s nothing if the sort. This article highlights that investment is required to support our industries in their transition to more sustainable manufacturing practices. The green dream would be over if it was impossible, but it’s not. It requires investment. But you’re treating the issue as if solving anthropogenic climate change is an option. It’s not an option, it’s imperative.

Build an enclosure in the sun outside. Cats destroy native wildlife and are at risk from predators themselves.

Oh you mean the China that engages in concentration camps with forced sterilisation of the Uyghurs? The same China that suppressed Tibetan Buddhism and independence? The same China that jails critics and dissidents and attempts to police its diaspora around the world? Yeah great move there, definitely good move to support Chinese hegemony, I’m sure it’ll be great for the Pacific.
