Derryn Hinch Support Petition |
27 Signatures |
Published by Robert Gardner on Oct 06, 2008
Category: Law Reform
Region: Australia
Target: Victorian State Government
Description/History:
In April 2008 Radio Broadcaster and Journalist Mr Derryn Hinch launched a campaign to have the Victorian Government pass laws that enables the identities of serial rapists and child sex offenders to be publicly named to protect the local and the broader community upon release.
Within Mr Hinch's own website (http://www.hinch.net) and most importantly the rally held on the steps of the Victorian Parliament House, Mr Hinch is now facing a possible 5 charges that will result in either large fines or a term of imprisonment through naming and shaming 2 convicted paedophiles.
Mr Hinch's intent was always to highlight a serious discrepancy in the Victorian Governments judicial system, so that a judge or magistrate cannot suppress the identity of a serious sex offender unless such identification will also identify a victim when the offender is released within the community.
Mr Hinch also developed an online petition website that can be viewed at www.namethemshamethem.com which clearly indicates the support for his cause with individual comments.
