Sydney siege gunman should have been in jail. We demand stronger bail laws

The issue

After the #sydneysiege we have learnt this man was let out on bail after facing accessory to murder charges and about 40 sexual assault charges.

Bail laws were meant to have been changed already, but “administrative bungles” have stalled them until late January. That’s not good enough. We need stronger bail laws that would have kept this dangerous man behind bars right now.

The public deserves to be protected from violent criminals.
