GB, the media have a lot to answer for and can make a difference.

Voting either way won't help the cause unless you have a Campbell Newman who pledged to run bikies out of the Gold Coast and to tighten laws on child sex offenders. But, he is now gone.

Websites like "change.org" play a role but our judiciary is still as weak as water.

I find it frustrating that so many of these groups are more politically driven and act as leverage for the likes of the greens.

I heard an interview about 1 year ago with the mother of the son who was stabbed to death. The interview was mainly about the killer if her son being released for weekend leave after 1 year and will be out after 18 months total. She got no support from the media apart from a radio interview. I wonder how she feels watch these 2 in Bali getting so much support and she got none and is left feeling like her son's life was worth nothing.

I don't know what more can be done other than to make it an election issue. For me, I am disgusted with the outpouring of emotion for these 2 when we have so many more worthy causes at home but people are blinded by their hypocrisy.

I do blame the politicians and the media. The politicians are all trying to outsympathise each other and now our PM is using blackmail to gain preferential treatment.

I just don't think people are that smart to be honest. They are dictated to by the media and have little idea of the injustices that occur here on a daily basis.

Again, I agree with you 100% --
