People power leads to GPS tracking devices for sex offenders
PROMINENT Queenslanders and victim support groups who stood united in their call for GPS tracking to monitor the state's most dangerous sex offenders have applauded the State Government for finally committing to stricter scrutiny. It comes as more than 6000 Queenslanders signed The Courier-Mail's petition calling for the State Government to roll out the technology as soon as possible. Bruce Morcombe, father of missing Sunshine Coast teenager Daniel, supported the State Government's decision to listen to the public. "Obviously, we see this as a good thing because what has been available to date, we just haven't been able to get right," he said. "People can identify that these people have rights, as we all do, but there is also an emotional side here where people tend to say, once you have a couple of strikes, it's bad luck and throw away the key." Sharon Tomlinson, who was raped at gunpoint at 2 by a serial sex offender who is now due for release, said GPS tracking was a great step forward. However, Ms Tomlinson feared it wouldn't be soon enough for the release of Robert John Fardon, who was sentenced to 13 years' jail in 1980 for raping her and wounding her 15-year-old sister. "I still don't have any doubt he will breach his parole again," she said. Fardon was released on parole after serving eight years and within just 20 days he committed offences of rape and sodomy and was sentenced to another 14 years. Bravehearts executive director Hetty Johnston said the Government's announcement was fantastic. "Kids are going to be safer, and it is really children who I think are going to be saved," she said. "Thank you to The Courier-Mail and to the Premier, as well, for listening."

GPS monitoring for Queensland sex offenders
QUEENSLAND'S worst sex offenders will be tracked with GPS technology by next year. Premier Anna Bligh says $2.2 million will be set aside in next week's state budget to introduce the technology, which will monitor the whereabouts of former prisoners under supervision orders. She said 70 offenders now living in the community would begin to be fitted with the devices by the end of the year. A further 16 up for possible release from jails over the next 12 months could also qualify. All qualifying offenders will have devices by the first half of 2012. "These people are the worst of the worst. These are the people that our courts determine cannot be released back into the community without strict supervision," she told reporters. The offenders are already subject to supervision and a radio-based monitoring system that alerts authorities if they break curfews, but Ms Bligh said the government wanted to keep pace with technology. She said the move was not a reaction to a public campaign for the technology, saying she had wanted to bring the program in last year but the state couldn't afford it then. Corrective Services Minister Neil Roberts said the technology provided another layer of protection for children but would not replace the vigilance of staff who monitor sex offenders in the community. "This type of monitoring forms the backbone of Queensland's sex offender supervision regime," he said. "We give these offenders no quarter. "If they do not comply with the terms of their supervision order, swift action is taken by corrective services personnel, including returning to jail." Queensland Corrective Services commissioner Kelvin Anderson said GPS still had some limitations, requiring satellite and phone coverage to work. But he said Corrective Services would go to market to look for the best technology that would stand up to scrutiny. The program is expected to cost $13.7 million over the next four years. Opposition Deputy Leader Tim Nicholls welcomed the decision but said the government had only acted because of public pressure. "Clearly the government has been found wanting and has had to react in order to meet the dictates of the media cycle rather than planning for the future as a competent and effective government should do," he told reporters.

Show support for safety of our kids by signing petition for GPS tracking of sex offenders-QLD
QUEENSLAND'S children are its future. They deserve our nurture, encouragement and protection if they are to thrive in the way they deserve. This has been a long-held article of faith for The Courier-Mail and has defined our reporting over many years. We have fought to protect foster children from abusive carers, chipped away at the wall of secrecy that has stopped parents knowing how their children's schools perform and we have campaigned against damaging schoolyard bullying. We have also encouraged ventures that showcase the best of our children such as the world-class annual Creative Generation performances. The Courier-Mail Children's Fund has handed out more than $2 million in the past six years and we continually look for ways to help better children's lives, such as The Courier-Mail Capilano Spelling Bee expecting more than 30,000 online participants this year. But one dark shadow hangs over the lives of too many children in Queensland. It is the threat from dangerous pedophiles who have no regard for the rights of children, no regard for the laws of the state and, despite strong legislation, appear to be able to roam free. This newspaper over the past week has highlighted how inadequate monitoring gives convicted pedophiles, classed as dangerous, the freedom to roam around parks, schools and shops frequented by kids. Last Monday, we revealed 152 incidents in the past year in which 53 offenders had breached release conditions. We have shown a simple way in which this can be dealt with by the use of satellite (or GPS) tracking to continually monitor their location. On Friday, we revealed that 2676 Queensland taxis, 13 crocodiles, 16 humpback whales and 144 Brisbane rubbish trucks are among the thousands fitted with GPS tracking. The Sunday Mail revealed yesterday that GPS tracking had been extended to turtles. But the state has refused to extend it to pedophiles even after clear signals from the courts that legislation to keep the worst offenders in jail does not hold constitutional water. This legislation is well-based but pushes the edge of constitutional law. It frequently fails to achieve its stated aim of protecting children from dangerous criminals and lacks the support law enforcers need to keep tabs on pedophiles highly likely to reoffend. Right now, they wear bracelets that don't track movements but merely records when they leave home. It's mid-20th century technology in a world that requires 21st century solutions. Premier Anna Bligh blames the Budget. While her fiscal abstemiousness is to be applauded, it needs a rethink. The state should trash some other programs to pay for Queensland children to be protected from these criminals. But she clearly needs encouragement. So, today, we launch a petition to urge the state to fit the dangerous pedophiles with GPS tracking devices. You can print out the petition from the link at the bottom of the front page of the app, fill it with signatures and return it to us on the address shown. Or pledge your support online at couriermail.com.au where you can also print out the petition. Governments act when people tell them what they think. This is your chance to tell them what you think about how to simply solve a serious social problem. * David Fagan is editor-in-chief of The Courier-Mail and Sunday Mail

THE use of GPS technology has become so reliable it is used to track humpback whales, train athletes and find dementia patients - but is not good enough for Queensland's worst sex predators. The State Government refuses to harness GPS tracking, despite plans by NSW and Victoria to maintain a 24-hour watch on similar parolees. Another dangerous sex offender, who was convicted of raping the 38-year-old wife of a close relative and indecently dealing with two girls, aged 5 and 10, was freed from jail on Thursday. On Monday, notorious pedophile Robert John Fardon, who has repeatedly breached his supervision order, is expected to be released. The Courier-Mail revealed this week that 53 of the most dangerous sex offenders in Queensland had contravened their supervision orders 152 times in the past year, despite the Government's assurances about current laws. Breaches included trying to abduct a child at a park, touching children at a birthday party, threatening to rape and viewing child pornography. Justice Peter Lyons yesterday ordered the 52-year-old man who raped his relative's wife be released on a supervision order. Under the conditions, he must regularly report to Corrective Services officers, abide by a curfew and abstain from drugs and alcohol and is also forbidden from having contact with girls under 16. Without GPS tracking, police are powerless to maintain a 24-hour watch on his movements, but the technology is so versatile it is now in seven million Australian phones. Parents are turning to the devices to protect their children and professional carers in Brisbane rely on it to protect dementia sufferers. "One of our clients puts one of our devices in their child's school bag before she heads off on a 45-minute bus ride to school," said Claude Raiola, one of a growing number of GPS entrepreneurs in southeast Queensland. Another is Logan's Find-Me Technologies, which has developed a GPS watch complete with a panic button and phone capability that it sells to carers of dementia patients. "We're tracking people that need to be tracked because they're not capable of looking after themselves," Find-Me director Bruce Jeffers said. The company's attempts to use the device on sex offenders has been stonewalled by the Queensland Government but it is drawing up a recommendation for the UK Government. Telsyte research director Foad Fadaghi said that in Australia there were more than seven million mobile phones and hundreds of thousands of private cars equipped with reliable GPS technology. A snapshot of the widespread use of GPS technology: - Over 7 million Australian mobile phones with GPS are in use today - At least 2676 Queensland taxis - 13 crocodiles in the Wenlock River were tagged in 2010 - 5 cassowaries were tagged near Mission Beach in 2010 - 16 humpback wales - 1 great white shark called Grim - Most NRL teams for training purposes - Most AFL teams for training purposes - a small number of Australian parents with "vulnerable" adult children or minors - several Brisbane private care homes with dementia patients - an undisclosed number of pets in the US - 30,000 privately-owned trucks, buses and transport vehicles across Queensland - 17 Brisbane City Council Citycats - 9 Brisbane City Council ferries - 144 Brisbane City Council rubbish and garbage trucks - US prisons started using GPS in 1998 - UK prisons started using GPS in 2004 - NSW prisons started using GPS in 2007 - UK Govt aim to use GPS on 3000 released prisoners - an undisclosed number of pets in the US - 1000s of US campers and skiers - 1000s of migratory wader birds that fly from the Arctic to Moreton Bay - Ergon Energy plans to erect 1000 GPS stations by December 2012, to locate people in distress with a mobile phone - trials are being done on prisoners and parolees in Brazil - Mining staff give staff personal GPS devices in high-risk kidnap zones The Courier-Mail 27-5-2011 James O'Loan, Brooke Baskin and Mark Oberhardt http://www.couriermail.com.au/news/queensland/bligh-government-shuns-use-of-gps-devices-to-track-sex-fiends-despite-widespread-use-elsewhere/story-e6freoof-1226063714520 |

GPS units being used to track mentally ill but Bligh Government refuses to use them for sex offenders
CARERS are using matchbox-size GPS units to track mentally ill patients, while the State Government refuses to use similar technology to monitor sex offenders. The readily available devices, which cost just $400 each and $150 for a year's supply of tracking software, also are being used by transport and logistics companies to monitor staff and stock across Australia. The Courier-Mail executed a successful trial run of the lightweight devices around Brisbane's inner-north. While office staff monitored every move on computers, a reporter placed a GPT001 unit in a pocket and visited a park, primary school, childcare centre and shopping centre before travelling by train from Nundah to Bowen Hills. The Brisbane supplier of the GPT001 units, OzSpy, claimed the devices were increasingly popular and adaptable, with some private care homes sewing them into patient's clothes in case they wandered off and became lost, or into harm's way. "I probably sell two to three a week just from this store," OzSpy Everton Park franchisee Eric Hunter said. The Government has undertaken several reviews into GPS monitoring for sex offenders in the past five years, but Police Minister Neil Roberts wouldn't reveal the cost, saying it was variable. "The cost to implement GPS monitoring depends on a number of factors including the type of technology chosen and the number of offenders to be monitored," he said. "Electronic monitoring currently used by Queensland Corrective Services is an effective tool to monitor compliance with curfews, however we continue to review the effectiveness and reliability of GPS technology for use in Queensland." His comments come days after The Courier-Mail revealed 53 of the the most dangerous sex offenders in Queensland had contravened their supervision orders 152 times in the past year. It is also just days before the expected release by the Supreme Court of notorious pedophile Robert John Fardon, who has spent more than 30 years in jail for sex offences against children and women, despite numerous breaches following previous community supervision orders. The NSW Government adopted GPS trackers for its worst sex offenders four years ago, hailing the move a success. The Victorian Government has pledged to trial its own GPS monitoring program for dangerous offenders living in the community at an estimated cost of $5 million over four years. Currently the state's most dangerous sex offenders are tracked by antiquated radio monitoring devices fitted to their ankles that don't continously mark their movements just triggered when they are not at their homes or workplaces at designated times. Barring some technical glitches, GPS trackers provide continuous monitoring to desktop computers and smartphones, informing authorities if offenders are in restricted or high-risk zones. Authorities would have a powerful tool, similar in effect to CCTV, that places a person at a crime scene.

Sex predators in Queensland roam free with out-of-date tracking devices
SEX predators in Queensland are roaming free wearing antiquated tracking devices while authorities across the border use updated satellite technology with "huge success". There are 72 dangerous sex offenders living in the Queensland community tagged with radio frequency-based electronic monitoring devices fitted to their ankles. An alert is sent to Queensland Corrective Services when the device moves out of range from a monitoring unit outside of approved curfews. However, the antiquated devices are prone to failure, The Courier-Mail revealing this week there had been 152 breaches of supervision orders by 53 sex offenders in the past year. GPS-enabled tracking devices have been used by NSW authorities since 2007, with 40 serious sex offenders and high-risk offenders fitted with a GPS tracking device. "The monitoring system has been a huge success," a NSW Corrective Services spokeswoman said. Despite that success, Police and Corrective Services Minister Neil Roberts wouldn't commit to an upgrade, saying the Government continued to assess its feasibility. State Government reviews into GPS span five years. "Queensland Corrective Services continues to review the effectiveness and reliability of GPS technology," he said. "However, GPS technology is not a silver bullet. Nothing can replace the vigilance of staff in the field who are already checking the whereabouts of offenders and their movements." Mr Roberts ruled out naming and shaming pedophiles but said neighbours were told when a dangerous sex offender moved in. "What Queensland Corrective Services will do is when one of the high-risk offenders is to be released under a supervision order, in the main they will go to the transitional housing first, because you can never place them in the community," he said. "They will do targeted consultation before a person is released into a particular area they will talk to the neighbours it's done on a confidential basis. "But in terms of broad-scale publication of offenders' photographs, where they live, on the internet, no, we don't support that." In the US, 225 sex offenders have been subject to GPS monitoring in New Jersey in its first two years and only one had been charged with a new sex crime. "Significantly, only one of these high-risk sex offenders has been charged with a new sex crime while under GPS supervision," a report by the state parole board stated. "The sex offender was arrested at the crime scene, a rape that occurred in April 2006. "Even if the sex offender had left the scene, however, GPS data was available to pinpoint his presence at the time and place of the crime, and was ready to serve as a vital aid to the investigation." A 2006 report found that the cost of GPS tracking of prisoners in the US was about $8 a day. Hetty Johnson, founder of victim support group Bravehearts, said satellite technology would cost too much and argued dangerous pedophiles shouldn't be released into the community at all. "It's not just about punishment, it's about community safety," she said. "I can't understand why offenders are knowingly released when it's not safe."

Dangerous sexual offenders flouting strict conditions when released into community
Release Order: Notorious child rapist Robert John Fardon at a halfway house in 2006 THE most dangerous sex offenders living in the community are repeatedly breaching supervision orders and many continue to prey on children despite strict conditions. As the Attorney-General prepares to appeal against a judge's decision to release one of the state's most notorious pedophiles, The Courier-Mail can reveal there were 152 contraventions in the past year by 53 of 81 released sex offenders. Breaches include trying to abduct a child at a park, touching children at a birthday party, threatening to rape, viewing child pornography, continuing a relationship with a 13-year-old boy, and attending places that children frequent. Others have been caught trying to remove their monitoring bracelet, failing to take anti-libidinal medication which reduces their sex drive, or taking other illegal drugs such as methamphetamine. They are mostly pedophiles considered a "high risk" of re-offending, according to Corrective Services documents obtained under Right to Information. They are the worst-of-the-worst and listed under Queensland's Dangerous Prisoner and Sex Offender Act. The high-risk sex predators are fitted with radio devices which do not record movements, only sending an alert to a Corrective Services' response team when an offender is not at home during their curfew. Another 3780 pedophiles are listed on the Australian National Child Offender Register and monitored by police. They have recorded 1806 breaches in the past five years. The Queensland Police Union said there weren't enough resources to effectively monitor pedophiles. "This Government is endangering children," QPU president Ian Leavers said. "They need to strengthen legislation immediately and that's made all the more evident by the Fardon farce." Serial sex offender Robert John Fardon, who pleaded guilty to attempted carnal knowledge of a girl under 10, and raping and indecently dealing with a 12-year-old and wounding her sister, 15, has repeatedly breached his supervision orders upon release but is expected to be allowed back into the community again next month after last week's Supreme Court ruling. The State Government is fighting to keep Fardon, 62, behind bars but Police Minister Neil Roberts said he believed current laws were sufficient. "Whatever our personal views are of the justice system, the court will determine a sentence and, however horrific the crime, in most cases at some point that person will be released," he said. "If you asked me if these people should be released, I'd say my personal opinion is 'no', but we've got to allow the system to objectively assess the evidence and make a decision. "In the end, it's not politicians who should determine who should be in or out of jail." Mr Roberts said the numbers were "quite high in terms of contraventions because police and corrective services give these people no quarter". Opposition police spokesman John-Paul Langbroek said laws on the release and monitoring of convicted sex offenders need to be toughened. "What it's basically saying is that too many dangerous sex offenders are breaking their supervision orders and they are a threat to the community," Mr Langbroek said. "We have to toughen the laws.obviously those laws have to be looked at to make sure that they meet community expectations and the laws at the moment are not." He said police minister Neil Roberts, who told The Courier-Mail he believed many sex offenders should be kept in jail but thought the current laws were sufficient, was passing the buck on the issue. "Clearly the safety of our community, which should be paramount, is being ignored by the government and by a police minister who's happy to fob off the problem to the courts system," he said. "What Neil Robertson is saying is that his personal view is that he doesn't think this is OK, but that his government's view is it is OK, and I think his personal view is what most Queenslanders would agree with." "It's not OK, it's not OK that this many of these offenders are committing breaches that are of a serious nature and yet nobody is going to do anything about it."
