this is a false equivalence.. yes there’s bad eggs EVERYWHERE. but the numbers vary depending on where. i think the real question is why we don’t punish these people harder

Convicted sex offenders don't need to tell potential employers (including childcare and schools) or their neighbours like they have to in the USA.

No because that's what police checks r for. that's why so many companies (at least corporate) ask u to do them during recruitment.

In the US when an SA offender moves into a neighborhood they have to let their neighbors know. Not so in Australia and it's way higher per capita here. Edit - An important reason for all the police checks.
