Parole board chief whacks PM, reveals startling communication breakdown

Tom Elliott

The chairman of the Victorian Adult Parole Board has labelled the Prime Minister “reckless” and revealed what appears to be a major communication breakdown in dealing with people on terror watch lists.

In a rare and extraordinary interview, His Honour Judge Peter Couzens told Neil Mitchell:

  • The parole board was given no information as to whether there were ongoing concerns about Brighton gunman Yacqub Khayre

Neil Mitchell: Do you get information on people being on watch lists?

His Honour: No. Can I assure you that we were not told anything along those lines, either at the time of making the order … nor subsequently.

Neil Mitchell: Should this information be shared with parole boards?

His Honour: Of course it should be.

  • He said the Prime Minister’s calls for violent offenders to not get parole is a “reckless claim”
