Killer driver gets 7 years

A DRUNK driver who had lost his licence 10 times before killing a woman in a horror crash, has been jailed for seven years.

Jason William Harris, 37, of Pyenna Ave, Kings Meadows was driving while disqualified when he killed a 49-year-old woman in a crash near Fingal in the state's North.
Harris received a six year non-parole period and a 15 year disqualification from driving.

Harris pleaded guilty to the manslaughter of Dawn Irene Lodge a fortnight ago.

Justice Shan Tennent's sentence was equal to the toughest sentence ever handed down for motor manslaughter in Tasmania.

However, a distraught Cheryl Pursell, the sister of the Mrs Lodge, said the sentence was not tough enough.

"When you take a life you should get life," Mrs Pursell's daughter, Kym 14, said.

Justice Tennent said Harris was an accident waiting to happen.

"In this case you drove dangerously for one and half hours, you drove at speed erratically and were under the influence of alcohol and cannabis and were in breach of a order of disqualification," she said.

"The consequences were the worst imaginable for the family."

She said Harris's driving record was appalling.

Crown prosecutor John Ransom told the court in a hearing that Harris had been disqualified from driving many times -- the last three weeks before the fatal crash on January 12, 2008.

HARRIS'S APPALLING RECORD:
October, 1988: Unaccompanied learner.
April 1991: 12 months disqualification for driving without due care and while disqualified.
January 1992: Six months ban for speeding.
September 1992: 12 months ban for driving while disqualified.
March 1995: Nine months ban for exceeding 0.05 (0.111).
June 1995: 15 months ban for exceeding 0.05 (0.151).
September 1995: 12 months ban for driving while disqualified.
July 1998: 12 months ban for driving while disqualified and exceeding 0.05 (0.72).
June 1999: Eight months ban for driving while disqualified.
July 2007: Three months ban for excessive demerit points.
December 2007: Three months prison wholly suspended and two years ban for exceeding 0.05 (0.128).

从这个驾驶记录来看，政府就不应当让这种人继续上路的了

Everyone might remember a Chinese student was killed on the East Coast of Tasmania 3 years ago. How many years would you give to the driver?

澳洲就是这样的了~~~

除非你自己私底下把他“解决”掉~

I think that particular Chinese student got a suspended sentence.  I could be wrong though.  Do you think he should get more?
Having said that, I don't believe that particular Chinese student committed any major driving offence in the past.  Therefore, he got away of going into the goal.

To my opinion, this guy has heaps driving offence in the past, he deserves to go to goal.  I have been to goal (on a tour with the legal prac), I think even 7 years is long time.  A friend of my works in there told me the state have to spend $80,000 per year on a prisoner.
