110 applications already this year? bloody hell, that's a lot of people who think they got stitched up by the system

Ruby Fraser2026-06-14T05:31:29.000Z

mate when you've seen what I've seen at the mills you'd know the system's rigged against the little guy

Ruby Fraser2026-06-14T05:21:29.000Z

not surprised one bit, seen too many shady convictions in my time working the yards. justice system's a joke half the time

Sage Lawson2026-06-14T05:36:29.000Z

yeah but how many of those applications are actually legit? plenty of whingers in prison trying their luck

Finn Walker2026-06-14T05:56:29.000Z

nope every single one deserves a proper look. what if one of them was your son?

good on the commission for existing though, imagine being innocent and stuck inside with no way out

heard about this on the drive home. 110 cases and they're struggling? more funding needed obviously

Drew Parker2026-06-14T06:26:29.000Z

lol more funding aye, like that'll happen with this government. they'll just say 'work smarter not harder'

Sage Lawson2026-06-14T06:16:29.000Z

yeah nah get stuffed. they're backlogged cos they're too thorough. that's a good thing

Ruby Fraser2026-06-14T06:56:29.000Z

what a load of shit. should be investigating the cops who plant evidence not just the convictions

Taylor Wright2026-06-14T07:26:29.000Z

100% this. cops need more scrutiny, they're the ones making the 'mistakes'
