Tracking is a fail: LNP

QUEENSLAND police have not applied to GPS track 202 child offenders, including sex pests who completed reporting requirements since September last year, new figures reveal.

Opposition leader Deb Frecklington said the police figures were evidence laws passed in September to monitor pedophiles who had completed supervision orders were failing.

The laws were passed just before notorious sex offender Robert John Fardon was about to end a supervision order and be released into the community.

“Annastacia Palaszczuk was caught out without a plan B for the impending release of Robert John Fardon and this was the result,” Ms Frecklington said.

Ms Frecklington said the LNP would introduce mandatory GPS tracking for life for repeat serious sex offenders.
