A 31-year-old Macksville man has been sentenced to 12 months imprisonment for possession and production of child abuse material.
AFP investigators charged the man after executing a search warrant at his house, where they located and seized a number of devices found to contain child abuse material, including a mobile phone, hard disk drive, SD card and two laptop computers.
Sadly, this sentence is so short. Which means he will be back out on our streets before we know it.
He is a perfect example of why we must establish a National Child S*x Offender Register.
Labor have called for evidence of need to establish a register. A recent report I commissioned shows the need and this case serves as another example of why a register is desperately needed!
We must protect children from this evil.
We must establish a national child s*x offender register.
No more excuses. Let's protect children from child s*xual predators.
