Australians will soon have access to a wealth of information about convicted paedophiles across the country after the Federal Budget allocated $7.8 million for a “name and shame” list.
The Budget 2019-2020 provides $7.8 million to establish a National Public Register of Child Sex Offenders, an initiative the government hopes will provide a “nationally consistent approach to the public release of information about child sex offenders”.
The register will allow Australians to see names, aliases and photographs of thousands of paedophiles, as well as their date of birth, physical description and the “general location and nature” of their crimes.

In spite of this👆🏼 amazing Australian study that was given to this politician about what an “abject failure” the US registry has been. It’s baffling me more and more how countries keep wanting to model this US EMPIRE so badly when it’s in a crisis and a moral decline and at a brink of losing its global influence.
Interesting how it say that it give a general idea where they are not their home address or the car and plate number to it.
Australia also removes people after 10 years.
