'40 Dr Robson diagnosed the applicant as suffering opiate, marijuana and amphetamine dependence.
No psychotic, personality or sexual disorder was diagnosed. His personality was diagnosed by Dr Robson as showing ... features of impulsiveness, difficulty with interpersonal relationships, aggression, a tendency to blame others and a lack of remorse.
Dr Robson believed that psychiatric care would be provided within the prison system, including ongoing counselling for drug and alcohol use. Additionally observations were made that the applicant was likely to benefit from ongoing rehabilitation for drug and alcohol use, including an opiate substitution program. He would also benefit from sexual counselling. The applicant was assessed as less likely to re-offend by cessation of drug use, altered attitudes towards women and the development of an appropriate heterosexual relationship. 41 The assessment of Dr Robson was confirmed by Mr T Watson-Munro, forensic psychologist. A full medical history of the applicant was also available to the judge.
42 The applicant was well supported by his family and strong references of support were provided by family and business associates. The applicant had a prior criminal history of unlawful assault, various thefts, aggravated burglary and burglary, trafficking and using a drug of dependence and other matters.
Those italics are mine, for clarity. This is from MC's original Supreme Court Appeal. ( it was unsuccessful) ..
What baffles me, is.. on what grounds could it possibly be concluded as the applicant being less likely to re-offend by the cessation of drug use?.. isn't this implying that only drug users are inclined in this way towards women?,,, this is such a breathtaking leap of faith , for want of a better word, that it leaves me gobsmacked. Why would it be assumed he would benefit from 'sexual counselling'.??? on who's say so? based on what foundation?
I simply do not grasp the 'faith' these events are held in, the counselling, the cessation of drug use, ( like how? .. wouldn't that attract a Nobel Prize if one could be made to cease drug use? ) .. the idea that all this faff has meaning and even efficacy... I just do not proscribe to that view.. and it is obvious, that in at least this case, it
was all faff and foolishness, a mish mash of words with out the slightest meaning apart from the capacity to lull folks into a false sense of security.. or a false feeling of doing something good , or at the very least, delay the solving of a problem and shove it down the line somewhere.
