Is there any evidence that judges are routinely giving lenient sentences to people convicted of terrorist-related offences? I suspect this is a solution without a problem merely so the minister can be seen to be 'acting tough'. Even more here than with most offences the deterrent is more likely to be the likelihood of being caught than the sentence you might get if convicted.
