## Resource

Queensland is set to overhaul parole laws for convicted killers like Gerard Baden-Clay, demanding the parole board weigh victim impact statements, judge’s remarks, and psychological assessments—effectively making “life means life” for heinous crimes. New powers will allow indefinite incarceration through expanded “restricted prisoner” declarations, potentially adding decades to life sentences. Driven by public outcry and expert testimony challenging the “crime of passion” excuse, these reforms aim to keep the most dangerous offenders locked away permanently—expected to pass by year’s end.
