THE MAKO/Files Online are a FREE PUBLIC SERVICE

In Australia the general Public (YOU) are NOT provided with access to Sex Offender Registries by the Federal or State government/s..
Most of you agree would with us that jail is the best place for convicted sex offenders..the FACT is that many live in unsuspecting communities including near schools/playgrounds etc..


Its no secret that sex offenders especially paedophiles are likely to re/offend so Public AWARENESS is very IMPORTANT to PREVENTION ??

The 'MAKO/Files' online are Australia's 1st " FREE PUBLIC" Paedophile/Sex offender registry,and currently list/ name hundreds of offenders nationwide, (NOT a complete Australian list of offenders) with more offenders being added on a regular basis.. 98+% of offenders listed in the MAKO/Files Online and MAKO/Files Online- (Within The Church) have been convicted by a court of law.
(The MAKO/Files Online also lists Child Killers and individuals convicted of other forms of child abuse/NOT only child sexual abuse)

A typical Online MAKO/File (offenders file) may include the offenders name,age (2008), photo where possible, occupation, offence-s committed, sentence received by the court, and last known location-
(last known location is taken from time of offenders offence/ sentence, unless otherwise stated).

AWARENESS = PREVENTION..
Not only can the MAKO/Files online be used by the Australian PUBLIC to better protect themselves and their CHILDREN/ families from proven sex offenders, they have many other benefits, including..


DETERRING some offenders = yet another form of prevention..

+ being a useful resource for Australian and overseas Companies-businesses-organisations to assist with screening potential employees/volunteers etc..
+ a useful resource for media outlets/journalists/Investigators/researchers etc..
+ a useful method of constantly lobbying Australian Government/s and politicians to do more to protect the PUBLIC from sexual predators.
"Tougher sentencing for offenders,greater government funding for prevention/ victim assistance and public sex offender registries would be a good foundation to work from."

Living With Evil On The Doorstep

ARARAT can't live with Mr Baldy but it can't live without him either.
Horrified residents of the western Victorian town were outraged yesterday to learn the infamous sex pedophile was walking among them.
An electronic tag alerted authorities of Mr Baldy's after-dark ramblings along a country lane on the outskirts of town.
But times are too tough in country towns to look a gift horse in the mouth, even if that gift is a prison holding pedophiles and rapists.
Scores of jobs are linked to HM Prison Ararat, where Brian Keith Jones lives and his perverted peers are locked away. But even in Ararat, where people are used to living with evil on their doorstep, there was genuine fear.
Meredith Grant, from Candy Cove lollyshop, said the news of Mr Baldy's unauthorised wanderings had confirmed many people's worst fears.
"We don't want him in town," Ms Grant said. "It would be a concern to anyone.
"You don't want someone like that walking the streets."
Down at Gilbert and Jury manchester, Amanda Coone declared the court system guilty of letting down the people of Ararat.
"He shouldn't be out of jail to start with," Ms Coone said.
"You wouldn't want anything else to happen to anyone's kids."
Prisons and mental institutions have been the life blood of the town for years. The shadow of the notorious J Ward blighted the town for a century.
These days, townspeople trust the prison system to both provide and protect.
"I think it's OK as long as he has the bracelet on and is monitored," Heather Joiner said.
"He has to live somewhere and unfortunately it's Ararat at the moment, but with the prison there he is safe."
Sports store owner Derek Calvert said no one wants to see Mr Baldy on the streets, but any town that relies on a prison for jobs and money must take the good with the bad.
"We'd all like to see it happen in someone else's town but what happened last week proves the system works," Mr Calvert said.
"The facility employs a lot of people in the town, so we have to expect a little bit of discomfort at times. "Personally I've got the greatest trust in the prison system and police."

Mr Baldy Faces Tougher Parole Terms

THE notorious pedophile known as Mr Baldy may have his supervision order changed after he was found wandering the streets in the Victorian regional town of Ararat in breach of a curfew, the Victorian government says.
Brian Keith Jones, dubbed Mr Baldy, was arrested by prison officers last week when an electronic surveillance tag he wears alerted them to the curfew breach.
Jones was caught wandering the streets of the western Victorian town, after 7pm.
Under an extended supervision order, imposed a year ago when he was released on parole after serving 12 years for child sex offences, Jones is banned from leaving his home outside school hours.
Corrections Minister Tim Holding said Jones was now back in prison and would face the Adult Parole Board today.
He is expected to be warned about the consequences of any future breaches and have the terms of his supervision order reviewed.
"He's now been placed back inside the Ararat prison perimeter, previously he was living in a small cottage just outside the prison," Mr Holding said on Southern Cross Broadcasting.
"They've also taken him or (are) about to take him before the Adult Parole Board to assess him.
"His extended supervision order may need to be changed to prevent this sort of action occurring in the future."
Opposition corrections spokesman Kim Wells is calling for Jones to be jailed.
"We would expect that the Adult Parole Board would send him to jail - to give Mr Baldy a slap on the wrist is totally unacceptable," Mr Wells said.
"Once he has served his punishment for this breach we would expect that housing be found for him inside Ararat prison, that is that he cannot leave Ararat prison unless he is fully supervised."
Jones, 59, could have faced five years jail for the curfew breach under the Sex Offenders' Monitoring Act, but the Department of Justice decided against charging him with a criminal offence.
The convicted sex offender was placed on a 23-condition, 15-year extended supervision order after he was released from prison in July last year.
Under the order he must wear an electronic ankle tag, is banned from leaving his house outside school hours of 3pm-9am, must not contact anyone under 18 and is forbidden from using the internet.
Jones was dubbed Mr Baldy after shaving the heads of his victims.

House Spruced Up For Mr Baldy
Victim Angry At Makeover


THE new home of notorious child sex offender Mr Baldy is to be given a makeover taxpayers' expense.
One of his victims, who said he had to fight for proper housing, is outraged at money being spent on the pedophile.
The Herald Sun believes Mr Baldy, whose real name is Brian Keith Jones, will spend the next few months in Ararat as Corrections Victoria tries to decide his future.
He will live in a house in the grounds of Ararat Prison. To make his stay more comfortable, the house will be upgraded.
Sources said the work would include new carpet and painting.
They predicted Jones could be there for months as authorities, concerned about his safety, worked out their next step.
"I think they'll leave him there until things calm down," a source said. "I'd say he'll be there for a while."
Jones, 58, has recently made supervised shopping trips to regional centres. A source said he had travelled with a minder to Ballarat and Stawell.
Jones, who got his nickname because he shaved the heads of his victims, was held at Ararat Prison until his release last month. He was placed in a house in Ascot Vale near schools but moved when tracked down by the Herald Sun .
One of Mr Baldy's most recent victims, Andrew, was furious when told of the housing upgrade.
"Why in the hell would they want to make him more comfortable? Let the bastard live in a cell with iron bars," he said.
"That money could be better spent on pensioners and parents.
"(He) gets a house in Ascot Vale for nothing as soon as he gets out of the clink. He's moved and then he gets renovations.
"It's a joke."
Andrew said he and his young son lived with faulty plumbing and no carpets for several weeks in his Ministry of Housing home before it was recently repaired.
His sister, meanwhile, is said to still be on a list for state-funded accommodation after more than 12 years of waiting.
The Herald Sun visited Andrew's Brunswick flat last month.
Flooded carpets had been ripped up and the home was in disarray pending maintenance.
Andrew said he and his son had to live on concrete floors for weeks because leaking plumbing had flooded carpets in several rooms.
"I was waiting for some time for maintenance to be done. I was living with holes in the floor for weeks," he said.
"The floor would get flooded. Stagnating water was eating into the concrete and the carpet."
He said his son injured himself on the flat's broken bath tub. "The place was freezing as there was no carpet. It was like living on a basketball court," Andrew said.
Department of Human Services spokesman Brendan Ryan said a leak was detected and the carpets were pulled up on July 5. New carpet could not be laid before July 21 because the concrete had not dried.
Mr Ryan said the plumbing leak took time to identify.
Andrew said his sister was still waiting for a Ministry of Housing unit.
In an angry letter to the State Government about Mr Baldy's housing arrangements, Andrew's mother Lois wrote: "What a waste when thousands of families and homeless people wait on public housing lists, yet scum like him move straight up and into a house.
"One of his victim's sisters has been waiting 13 years for a one-bedroom flat and is still trying to get into a (Housing Ministry) unit."
Jones is living under wide-ranging parole conditions and must wear an electronic ankle tag.
