Australia's first publicly accessible register of child sex offenders has been published online in the state of Western Australia.
Initially, the details available include photographs, names and physical descriptions of nine sex offenders the police have lost track of.
Parents will be also able to enter their addresses to see if there are any convicted paedophiles living nearby.
But there are concerns about possible vigilantism and mistaken identity.
The Western Australia government describes the register as a balancing act between community safety and the ability of the police to manage convicted paedophiles, says the BBC's Duncan Kennedy in Sydney.
But legal groups have questioned how useful it will be and raised concerns about the potential for vigilante attacks.
The Criminal Lawyers' Association said that authorities would find it hard to stop the pictures being illegally posted elsewhere on the internet.
But the government says it is an offence to republish any information from the site and said any reprisal attacks would not be accepted. |
Hopefully the rest of Australia and Canada follow suit.

Yep the rock spiders and soft cocks are squirming in the other states, I'm interested to see how many pedophiles have their rights infringed.
Axe handles do a good job of infringing, bring it on.

the sensible sentencing trust has a website over here with lists of offenders and where they are being detained.

Sheep haven't got rights in Aussie.
As far as NZ goes a feminist complied the first Sex Offender list in NZ about 15 years ago, all persons named were convicted and their names were on the public record. She just basically gathered the info and put it out into the public arena.
Mikes right about the sensible sentencing trust here they have taken it on and improved it and kept it up to date.....
You wouldn't want to be on that list!!!!

We Ozzians are not as "attached" to our sheep.
We do not see the need to give rights to our FOOD, beside giving them the right to be tasty..
On the other hand, our backwardians NZ Cousins have huge emotional attachments to their girlfriends.
What can I say..
