9.    Punishment to be Sentenced to each male (18 years and over) that has been found guilty Beyond any doubt of having committed Spouse Revenge Filicide

Below is the Sentence of Punishment (sought by this Petitioner) for each father or step-father (over 18 years of age) found guilty (in an Australian criminal court) Beyond any doubt of executing their child or step-child or children (classified as a Level 1 'criminal offence') that is deemed to fall within the category of Spouse Revenge Filicide:

(a)      3 lashes of the Cat 'O Nine Tails liberally struck upon the bare back above the kidneys; and

(b)      3 canings of an Australian Rattan liberally struck upon the bare buttocks below the kidneys.

Seven days after such Corporal Punishment is inflicted, the male over 18 years of age is hung by the neck until dead with approx. 20 witnesses drawn from the community, who are then able to comment to the media regarding the impact upon them of witnessing the 6 lashes/canings inflicted and the subsequent execution by hanging.

Predicated upon one of the oldest metaphors observed by Homo sapiens, namely "an eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth", Australia's Commonwealth Attorney General is impelled to lift the recent caveat that denies Australia's six States and two Territories return to Sentencing the 'death penalty' upon fathers and step-fathers found guilty Beyond any doubt of executing their offspring where those executions are deemed to be Spouse Revenge Filicide.  There is no greater obligation upon Homo sapiens than to safeguard its offspring when at their most vulnerable. Responsibility to amend the Crimes Legislation Amendment (Torture Prohibition and Death Penalty Abolition) Act 2010 (Cth) falls squarely upon the Commonwealth Attorney General, Michaelia Cash.

Christian folk from a bygone era understood the rationale of "an eye for an eye":

Book of Exodus 21:22-25 (Old Testament)

“When men strive together and hit a pregnant woman, so that her children come out, but there is no harm, the one who hit her shall surely be fined, as the woman's husband shall impose on him, and he shall pay as the judges determine. But if there is harm, then you shall pay life for life, eye for eye, tooth for tooth, hand for hand, foot for foot, burn for burn, wound for wound, stripe for stripe.

Book of Leviticus 24:19-21 (Old Testament)

"If anyone injures his neighbour, as he has done it shall be done to him, fracture for fracture, eye for eye, tooth for tooth; whatever injury he has given a person shall be given to him. Whoever kills an animal shall make it good, and whoever kills a person shall be put to death."

The legal obligation to impose the strongest possible Deterrent to male parents or step-parents to executing their child or children (that fall within the category of Spouse Revenge Filicide) behooves the Commonwealth Attorney General to amend the Crimes Legislation Amendment (Torture Prohibition and Death Penalty Abolition) Act 2010 (Cth) to enable Australian judges in our six States and two Territories to revert to Sentencing  Frightening Corporal Punishment and Fear-Provoking Capital Punishment upon any male (over 18 years of age) found guilty Beyond any doubt of Spouse Revenge Filicide. 

Section 6 above details that each such Punishment was Sentenced plentifully in Australian States and Territories up until the early part of the 20th Century. Refer to Whipping as a criminal punishment in Australia.  Hanging by the neck until death was an exceedingly common occurrence through the 19th Century.
