Subject: Mandatory Sentencing -- from Margaret Adkins

To Whom It May Concern:
 
I am asking you to support Senator Bob Brown's bill to end mandatory sentencing for adults and children for all property crime.
 
Mandatory sentencing is en embarrassment to Australians!  I would like to see it ended totally, but at least support Senator Brown's bill and end this .
 
I assure you I will not vote for any party that supports Mandatory Sentencing.   Fortunately, the number of people who feel as I do is growing in Australia.
