Three Years Non-Parole for a Killing — and the Outrage Industry Warms Up

A murder charge in NSW and a separate NT sentencing controversy have collided, with Senator Jacinta Nampijinpa Price attacking a three-year non-parole period for a man who fatally stabbed his wife.

Three years non-parole for stabbing your wife to death. Price is right to be furious, but she'll use it to flog the same law-and-order drum that's been thumping since Menzies without ever asking why the sentencing guidelines read like they were drafted by someone who's never met a consequence.
