“A Government’s first priority must be to keep its citizens safe.
“When Labor’s Attorney-General lost her bid to extend the supervision order for notorious sex offender Robert John Fardon, we became increasingly concerned.
“After more than three and a half years, it was clear that Annastacia Palaszczuk and Labor didn’t have a Plan B to deal with the worst kind of offender in Queensland.
“The last thing we want to see is community safety jeopardized with offenders like Fardon unsupervised on our streets.
“The LNP will be introducing tough new laws this week to keep repeat violent sex offenders under strict supervision and out of the community as determined by the Government.
“Labor’s laws do not cover all violent repeat sexual offenders.
“The LNP’s laws will also include additional reporting conditions for repeat offenders whose supervision order has expired to be GPS tracked.
“This will ensure that all repeat violent sexual offenders will be monitored until they die.
“Labor’s rushed proposal has clearly been cobbled together at the last minute.
“It is a step in the right direction but it doesn’t go anywhere near far enough.
“LNP Shadow Attorney General David Janetzki will be introducing our laws to Parliament tomorrow.”
