This is outrageous

[Olbucko]

A Victorian woman who pleaded guilty to high range drink driving, .282, and speeding, 126 km/h, 26 km over the limit, with a prior conviction for DUI will only serve a community corrections order and not have a conviction recorded.

The magistrate said that a conviction could "impact on her employment role as an electoral officer." She should have thought of that before she dragged herself into her car, surely jail should be the only option.

I think a first offender with a clean record on a low range dui charge where no other offence has been committed should perhaps be given one chance, however this woman should be going straight to Jail. I think that the Victorian Govt be reviewing other decisions that this magistrate has made.
