Just found out that some guy in Darwin who boasted online about killing people only got 2 years (old news)

Old news, but first time I've seen it. Deliberately ran over pedestrians (likely in a racially based attack) killing 1 person, then proceeded to boast about it online. Even bragged about how he knew he'd get a slap on the wrist for it. He got 2 years of house arrest. For murder + attempted murder. And that's after an appeal, they tried to let him off with 12 months. Thought by now we were better than this here. Apparently not.
