PREMIER Denis Napthine says he understands why Tom Meagher would be disappointed with the parole board and said Corrections Minister Edward O'Donohue had met the board today to discuss the issue.

"I can absolutely understand why Tom Meagher would be very disappointed with the lack of response to his representations to the parole board," Dr Napthine said.

Mr Meagher has demanded an apology from the Adult Parole Board for releasing his wife's killer - and has labelled its members cowards.

But Dr Napthine said he believed the board’s excuse that a spam filter had blocked Mr Meagher's emails.

"I don’t have any reason not to believe what the parole board has said, but let me say that Tom Meagher would have every reason to be very disappointed that his emails haven’t been dealt with and dealt with appropriately.

“I’ve spoken to the Minister for Corrections this morning and the Minister for Corrections has met with representatives of the parole board and they have indicated that they would be happy to sit down with Tom Meagher and listen to his concerns and have discussions with him.

"I can’t say to Tom Meagher and Jill Meagher’s parents enough how sorry we are as a government and Victorians with respect to what happened to Jill Meagher."

Dr Napthine said the review of the parole board by former High Court Judge Ian Callinan was "very imminent" and the Government looked forward to receiving it and examining the recommendations.

Mr Meagher told the Herald Sun he had not ruled out joining a class action against the State and felt the parole board had disrespected him.

Mr Meagher said he was furious that the board had failed to respond to a series of questions he emailed to it on June 24.

He branded the board members cowards in a second email he sent after his first inquiry was ignored.

"I can see the vigour you put into capriciously pouring rapists and murderers on to our streets does not extend to responding to victims of your incompetence," he wrote in the second email on June 29.

It went on: "Whether this is the slow-moving cogs of government bureaucracy, laziness or good old-fashioned cowardice is of little importance to me (although I would imagine the latter is probably on the money)."

His angry correspondence was acknowledged by the Parole Board only last week after it was told by Victoria Police that Mr Meagher had been ignored.

Mr Meagher contacted the Herald Sun and asked for his emails to be published in full.

Adult Parole Board general manager David Provan blamed the communication breakdown on a faulty spam filter.

"There is no record of either of these emails having been received at the board. It appears they were sent to the correct address.

"I can only assume that they were caught up in a problem we had in June with a spam filter," he said.

"This is obviously concerning and I have sought advice from our IT area to ensure this is not repeated."

But Mr Meagher said the response was unacceptable.

"It's unbelievable. If that's how that department runs, it's completely incompetent," he said.

"It is only because there is public attention on this that they actually responded."

Last Wednesday, Adrian Bayley officially appealed the 35-year minimum sentence he was given for the brutal rape and murder of Ms Meagher in Brunswick on September 22.

Bayley was sentenced and released on parole after serving a minimum of eight years in jail, despite already having prior convictions for sex assaults and rapes, and admitting he had "gone through the motions" to get through a rehabilitation program.

Mr Meagher said he was still weighing up whether he would join a class action against the State Government.

The Herald Sun revealed in April an unprecedented legal assault against the the Government had been launched over criminals who kill while out on parole.

The campaign, which is being headed by the mother of murder victim Sarah Cafferkey, includes a push to get the Government to register "high-risk offenders" on a public internet site.

Mr Meagher said: "It is something I've thought about and it's something I've discussed with a few people, but I don't know if I'd be able to go through with all that stuff again, in courts and whatnot.

"I don't really, at the moment, have any intention of getting involved in that, but who knows in the future? I might change my mind."

Mr Meagher said he had no intention of making his emails public, but felt compelled to defend himself after Mr Provan claimed in last weekend's Sunday Herald Sun that he had received a prompt response.

"I felt that David Provan was being disingenuous when he said the email came through on Thursday and it was acknowledged.

"There is an implication that this was the first email the APB received from me," he said.

"I had sent two previous emails, to which I received no response.

"It was only when I contacted a Victoria Police member that I received any acknowledgment. The first email was sent on June 24 and the second on June 29," Mr Meagher said.
