By the way, the true and tried solution to these ferals is not, of course, the treatment they recently received but the methods of old; the judicious application of corporal punishment in the best interest of the child. Instead of spending millions of dollars on a lawyers’ talk-fest, Mr Turnbull should hire the Master of Discipline of Changi Prison and have him come down here and administer ten stokes of the rattan cane to the backsides of these brats with a further understanding that if they re-offend they can look forward to further canings until they become law abiding citizens. The fathers of these ferals should also be caned for dereliction of parental duty.
