Good news but it only goes to highlight the fact that for years they have ignored the publics concern about limpwristed punishments by only passing the minimum sentence. There's been no change to the offence statutes or sentencing guidlines in response to these outrages so it highlights what a different planet magistrates and judiciary are on
