I’ve got a better solution.
If you’re under 18 and commit a home invasion, steal a car, or engage in machete violence—let’s do what they do in Singapore: public caning.
Six strokes for the first offence, doubling for each subsequent offence.
You’d only need to cane a few and post the videos on social media—and watch crime levels plummet overnight.
It sounds harsh, but I’d argue that it’s actually less detrimental to a teenager than locking them up in an institution with other criminals.
With crime out of control in Victoria, it’s time for a change in attitude.
Do you agree?
A Welsh humanitarian nurse pleads desperately with Egyptian armed guards to open the gate to Rafah. He speaks not just as a medic, but as a witness to the mass starvation, suffering, and killing in Gaza. "I've seen it with my own eyes," he says. "Children are dying. People are starving. Let us through." His voice joins the growing global outcry: Gaza needs access. Gaza needs humanity.
