Six years jail and never getting to hold a license again right?
- Considering he was driving while on bail, I doubt he'll stop driving either way
  
  They shouldn't be allowed to even own a vehicle.
6 years doesn’t seem like much. The article says that this joker is a big time serial offender.
- He's lucky to have gotten anything. Usually you can kill people in a car and get away without any charge.
  
  Based !fuckcars@lemmy.world enjoyer?
  May I also interest you in: https://www.standards.org.au/news/revised-standard-recommends-larger-parking-bays-across-the-country
  Luckily, they got massive backlash, and haven't yet actually updated the standard after almost 2 years since.
  I'm gonna be really angry if they do increase parking bay sizes.
  Gotta love urban sprawl
- Death penalty seems like a fair sentence for a piece of shit like him
  
  Jesus fluffing christ mate, calm down.
  
  I feel people suffer more with life in prison, because I hope most of them will come to a realization of what they did and have to suffer. Too bad there's no hard labor.
  
  nah. Make him ride a toddler's push scooter. No more license. Only push scooters. Show everyone what a big boy he is
From the article;
"In February 2024, he was caught driving while on bail for the offending which caused Sutton’s death, despite having been banned."
I... He killed a person and left a child with a permanent brain injury. And he kept driving. There are no words
Ausgov: "Quick, Ban snapchat"
The best punishment for this guy is to not let him have a mobile phone, car or licence.
If they do ever let him have his license back, he must also only be permitted to drive a 2006 poverty-pack Ford Focus that can only travel at a maximum speed of 80km/h and takes 5 minutes to get to speed.
But never,ever let him have a mobile phone or Social Media account.
