Hi I was just doing some multiple choice and I came across 2 questions that stumped me:
1. Which of the following is considered an argument against the passing of an Australian HR act?
a) it's too difficult to pass as it needs a majority of voters in a majority of States.
b) It transfers power from the legislature to unelected members of the jury
c) It would quickly become outdated.
The answer is b) but I thought it would have been c)?
2.What is true about sentencing in NSW?
a) minimum sentences have been determined in legislation
b) Maximum legislation has been set in legislation
c) Judges must follow judicial guidelines
d) The jury recommends sentences to the judge
The answer is b) but aren't there mandatory minimum sentences as well, ie assault from a strike to the head causing death (one punch laws)?
Thanks!
