Errm, as stated earlier, Australia is perfectly within it's rights to extradite this guy back here. He IS a UK citizen.

Several people appear to be criticising Australia for doing that (including some people who are all for us extraditing criminals that don't have UK citizenship).

As for the death penalty. I'll admit, if a person abused a child of mine, I probably would want to kill the ******* as slowly and painfully as possible, but, the death penalty itself clearly does not work (look at the US for evidence of that)

We need to find a way to stop these people abusing in the first place, not to kill them after they have done it. Killing the abuser will not correct the damage done to the abusee. Preventing them being abused would ensure the damage was never done though.
