Right now, Mark Mitchell, he's got a bit on

0:02

his plate at the moment. He'll be happy with the score

0:04

he got from Audrey Young in her ranking

0:06

of ministers for midterm. But

0:09

I reckon he is holding on to a ticking

0:11

time bomb. This is the case

0:14

of the beautiful young Colombian woman woman

0:16

in christ Church living next door to

0:19

a monster. She didn't know

0:21

he'd been let out of prison ten weeks

0:23

before he raped her and stabbed

0:25

her to death. He was on parole, by

0:28

the way. And here's the

0:30

problem. Corrections knew

0:32

he was quote a high high

0:35

high risk. Any

0:37

young attractive woman near him

0:40

would be a target. Poor Juliana

0:42

bonnella head Eda. That was the woman she

0:45

lived next door. She didn't know about his

0:47

past, and Corrections somehow

0:50

didn't know she'd moved in next door

0:52

to this animal. Now, since

0:54

we spoke about this the other day, a couple of things have happened,

0:57

a couple of updates for you. And this is where

0:59

Mitchell comes in. This guy was

1:01

on parole right, which means he's been let

1:03

out of prison early. Could still

1:05

be in prison, but you're not because we've let

1:07

you out. Now you wonder how

1:10

many other high risk offenders like this

1:12

guy are released from prison early, and

1:14

is this, you know, a good idea?

1:17

Well, a senior correction staff for this

1:19

week says they're regularly

1:22

being let out early and

1:24

let into the community, not just people

1:26

like this guy, but people with

1:29

quote even higher risk here's

1:32

what I reckon. This case and

1:34

a long list of parole botch ups

1:37

before it are all the evidence

1:39

you need that we can't trust

1:41

the system once these guys make

1:43

it outside the government should

1:45

immediately pause the

1:48

release of high risk, violent

1:50

thugs into our communities. Everyone

1:53

loves to talk about safety first, Well

1:56

here's a bloody good place to start.

1:59

This ticking time bomb is in Mark

2:02

Mitchell's lap. For
