In the case of Voois – who raped two women and sexually assaulted another in the early 1990s, and later sexually assaulted fellow prisoners – his renal failure is the only reason a psychiatrist downgraded him from a high risk of re-offending to a medium to high risk.
Voois was diagnosed at 15 with a kidney problem and receives taxpayer-funded dialysis three times a week at the Wolston Correctional Centre.
“He is on the transplant program,” psychiatrist Josephine Sundin noted in an affidavit filed in the Supreme Court last month.
I just have one question for anyone who has ticked the organ donor box on their driving licence. Would you want your body parts to sustain the life a of a serial rapist? Surely any duty of care does not extend to offering this scumbag a transplant when other more worthy individuals languish on the waiting list?

I like the new WP theme you’ve picked Iain and your header photo BUT … if this is the “new Iain Hall” and you want to engage more from “the other side” what’s with the f….ng photo of some bloke’s insides? Just remember there are weak-stomached people out there and it has nothing to do with political leanings. I’m gunna throw up now.
There, that should be better for those of a more squeamish nature Ray but don’t click on the new picture because it links to the original illustration
