It is the second most supported e-petition in the ACT’s history: more than 3,000 people have signed bereaved father Tom McLuckie’s petition calling for an overhaul of criminal sentencing and penalties for repeat offenders. No other petition since 2018 has received such popular support.
The ACT Government – partly in response to calls for an independent review of sentencing and the judiciary – has set up a council to advise on law reform and sentencing.
