The Queensland attorney-general’s latest move to be tough on crime has civil libertarians claiming he is attacking the separation of powers.

Jarrod Bleijie is looking at dumping court-ordered parole and suspended jail sentences, due to community concern about crimes committed by offenders on parole.

Currently about 300 offenders are returned to jail each month for parole breaches, and Mr Bleijie says that’s clearly a problem.

The former lawyer has held a ‘‘strong position’’ for years and expects reform by the end of the year.

‘‘I don’t think it is effective,’’ he said.
