Milat-ing up a storm

Woo-hoo, big news that Ivan Milat has had his sandwich toaster taken off him at the orders of our esteemed Premier. The reason seems to be that Milat is so much of a nasty bastard, he shouldn't have any perks.

If he is such an evil sod, it would have been a whole lot easier to have simply hung him instead of committing him for life. Either he is not so bad, and therefore should only be locked up and treated like any other prisoner, or he is beyond the pale and should be subject to capital punishment. You can't say that he is not quite evil enough to justify bringing back the noose, but too evil to be treated like a normal crim.

Then again, it isn't like Premier Dilemma to make up his mind on a consistent basis.
