The only thing in thing we have control over in this world is our own selves and how we operate in this world.

What a disgusting assertion. You always have a choice. I have urges too. I have urges to commit violence on people, but since I am guided by a moral compass that requires I DON'T FUCKING HURT PEOPLE, I don't hurt people.

Maybe a pedophile isn't able to control their attraction to a child, but they damn sure are able to control what they do about it. Seeking treatment is difficult, but if I (or any decent human) found myself in a position of wanting to assert my sexuality on ANY unwilling participant, especially a child, I would seek help for that.

This is a breach of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights

Article 13.

... (2) Everyone has the right to leave any country, including his own, and to return to his country.

The last time the "Liberals" (i,e. big business conservatives) did this was to stop people trying to escape from being conscripted as war slaves for the Vietnam War.

There is no detail in the press release. But consider

Some convicted people are actually innocent.

These people have served their sentence. Are they to be punished forever?

Pedophiles appear to have had little choice about the matter. You just wake up one morning and realize that you have this terrible problem.

Included in the definition of 'pedophile' is someone who had sex with someone who appeared to be over 18, who lied about her age. The laws in Australia now have strict liability. An honest and reasonable belief that someone is of age is no defense.

They need lethal castration with no aesthetic or pain meds just like the Uncle Tom in Django had in mind bleed them out upside down the fucking freaks. Fucking animals

This will benefit 3rd world countries where children fall prey to foreign visitors. All over Asia and Africa. Good on your Australia. But every person convicted of pedophilia or possession/creation of CP should be castrated. Period.

Is this a joke? Australia is basically pedo capital of the world.

"We won't let pedos travel to your country, but running around our own country's streets is allowed" ??

Are these people fo' real? Oh wait, CNN article, no wonder it makes no sense.

I don't think you understand the dynamics of the situation.

In OZ the AFP have jurisdiction and can/attempt to monitor those on the register. The problem is these known offenders are travelling to countries with poor and vulnerable people and with low levels of law enforcement.

Keep them close to the government teat so the Elitist have disposable scapegoats. Almost as devious as the DNC treatment of Bernie supporters. His name was SETH RICH. A disposable Democrat.

That's a lot of homos that won't be leaving the country.

They should also ban convicted pedophiles from the Internet!

Sorry to be a downer, but this is smoke and mirrors, this is the elites pretending to make a stand even though they (the most prolific abusers) will go unscathed.

Good! The governments of EVERY nation should be protecting their citizenry from this scourge.
