During the week Penbo and his FIVEAA breakfast co-host Will Goodings vented their frustration<\/a> at the fact hoon driver Lyle Morrison was eligible for a 40 per cent discount off any sentence for the hit-run death of mother of two Lucy Paveley.<\/p>\n \u201cBased on the feedback I have received this week — which is immense — there is genuine public dismay at the manner in which this discount system may apply in the Lucy Paveley case,\u201d Penbo has now written in an opinion piece for The Advertiser.<\/p>\n \u201cIf we are going to tackle the backlog of cases in the courts, surely we should exclude cases of physical violence and death from eligibility for a discount system?<\/p>\n \u201cIt is obviously up to the judge to decide how to proceed in this case — but it is up to the Parliament to decide whether it still believes that the discount system is fair.<\/p>\n \u201cThe public clearly thinks it is appalling\u2026<\/p>\n \u201cWe received more than 200 messages about this case this week and less than 10 about the State Budget.<\/p>\n \u201cThe message to the Premier, Steven Marshall, is that the public wants action on this, and wants it now.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n Sentencing debate – The broader community believes the killer of mother-of-two Lucy Paveley in a hit-run crash does not deserve a sentencing discount for an early guilty plea, writes @penbo<\/a> @theTiser<\/a> https:\/\/t.co\/994TftDI4Q<\/a><\/p>— Advertiser Opinion (@TiserOpinion) September 7, 2018<\/a><\/blockquote>
