SHOULD Australian pedophiles be castrated and microchipp­ed?

We asked that question on our Facebook pages this week after it was reported pedophiles in Indonesia could be under tough new laws. And, unsurprisi­ngly, everyone who commented said yes. “Yes most definitely but also something that the public can see also would be good then we know who is living with in reach of our children,” one Facebook user wrote.

“Tattoo a number on their forehead! That way normal people in society can see them for who they are! I cannot see a microchip or if they are castrated. I want to be able to see who is living with us!” another said.

“How about no rights. Like a name register and photos available to public…” wrote another.

“I’d rather see them get a bullet. You cannot rehabilita­te someone who doesn’t think they are doing anything wrong,” said another commenter. What do you think?
