Fresh from passing the nation’s “toughest bikie laws”, Queensland Attorney-General Jarrod Bleijie will now alter legislation to bypass the courts to keep the state’s “worst sex offenders in jail” for life.

The amendments are Mr Bleijie’s “plan B” to keep sex offenders like Robert John Fardon imprisoned if their appeals against their release orders fail.

The changes will mean that once the usual appeals process has been exhausted Mr Bleijie will be able to step in and recommend the offender be detained under a “public interest declaration”.

The Governor in Council, which is made up of the state’s Governor and the most senior cabinet members, will then determine if the Attorney-General has a case.
