Category: Law Reform
Region: Australia
Target: Lawmakers and courts
Description/History:
In Australia serial rapists and paedophiles are using the court system to have their names, photos, addresses and convicted accomplices' details legally suppressed.

Unlike the USA there is no Megan's Law.
Petition:
WE, the undersigned, demand the Victorian Parliament change the laws so that a judge or magistrate cannot suppress the identity of a serious sex offender unless such identification will also identify a victim.
