A Perth woman who survived capture by Australia’s worst serial killing couple, David and Catherine Birnie, is now campaigning to have mandatory parole board review hearings revoked.

Thirty years after Kate Moir survived being kidnapped and held prisoner at the Birnies’ home in 1986, she wants authorities to change the law which states WA’s worst murderers must be considered for parole every three years, even if they don’t apply for it.

Moir was hailed as a hero when, in 1986 and aged just 17, she was kidnapped by the Birnie's before she managed to escape and alert police -- which led to the end of a killing spree that ended the lives of four young women, aged between 15 and 33.

David Birnie killed himself in prison in 2005 but Catherine Birnie is still ‘alive and well.’

“She has a partner in prison and she is the head of the library. Yet every three years when I have to read about her parole being reviewed, it brings the nightmare back all over again,” Moir said.

Moir, who is now a happy mother of three, told The Huffington Post Australia she wants to be known as a survivor and not a victim -- yet she wants to represent the victims in calling for a change to the WA laws.

“I want the legacy that I leave to be that of a survivor and a hero, never a victim. But enough is enough," she said.

"I am appealing to the West Australian Attorney General to revoke mandatory parole board review hearings for murderers whose crimes were premeditated and beyond doubt due to a plea of guilty.

"I want the Attorney General to change the law and stop reviewing Catherine Birnie’s parole. She does not apply for it herself, it is automatically reviewed and every time it happens, it causes me incredible pain.”

According to WA’s sentencing laws, Birnie’s strict-security life sentence is reviewed every three years since she finished serving her minimum 20-year non-parole term in 2000. Moir is notified every time Birnie’s sentence is reviewed, causing her great anguish.

“Every time I hear that her parole is being reviewed, I relive the nightmare. It causes significant trauma because I relive it and it feels like it happened yesterday. My name was always protected because I was a minor at the time I was captured, but due to the internet, if anybody googles my name, it is everywhere and linked to the Birnie killings," Moir said.

"As a mother of three, this is dreadful for me as my children can easily Google my name. So the rise of the internet has made the law that provided protection for my name, absolutely ineffective."
