"Backlash" seen against Australia Member of Parliament
( I couldn't resist the PUN!!!)
One Nation MP: Birch drunken teens 04Mar04 A WEST Australian One Nation MP has called for corporal punishment for teenagers involved in drunken fights on Perth's streets. The city has been blighted by a series of drunken battles involving youths and the police in recent months. The most notable involved a 90-minute running battle between 3,000 youngsters and a riot squad on Australia Day. Over the weekend, several officers were injured after police in riot gear were pelted with bottles and rocks at two separate incidents at Kalamunda and Trigg. Frank Hough, MLC for the Agriculture region and national state director of One Nation, says a generation of untouchable teenage thugs and criminals deserves corporal punishment. He says it's about time the nation stopped coddling wayward youth and brought back discipline. Mr Hough is seeking the reintroduction of the birch, a type of whip-like collection of sticks used for corporal punishment. This report appears on NEWS.com.au. |
