## Resource

Queensland is poised to overhaul its parole system, potentially locking up its most dangerous criminals for up to ten extra years — a move expanding eligibility beyond child killers and multiple murderers to include all life-sentence inmates. The goal? To amplify victims’ voices, ensuring they’re notified and heard during parole decisions. Spearheaded by public outcry and high-profile cases like Gerard Baden-Clay’s, the reform aims to align punishment with community perception of justice. Families of victims argue a 15-year non-parole period doesn’t equate to a true “life sentence,” and this change seeks to honor their enduring grief. Backed by an independent review, the government is prioritizing public safety, making parole decisions public when appropriate, and strengthening victim support — all to restore trust in a system that’s long been questioned.
