NSW will be opposing parole in this matter. I’m also able to inform you that NSW already has laws to keep the most dangerous sex and violent offenders behind bars or under the strictest supervision beyond their sentences. The state can make applications under these laws when offenders who pose an unacceptable risk of committing a further serious offence reach the last six months of their sentence. New legislation to be introduced next week will further strengthen these laws.

Dear Brieana, From today, the Crimes Act 1900 (NSW) has new criminal offences punishing intimate image abuse. It is now a crime in NSW to record, distribute, or threaten to record or distribute, an intimate image without the consent of the person depicted. I want to acknowledge your work advocating for this reform and for attending Parliament House in support of the Bill. What happened to you was wrong and caused you significant harm. I hope that these new offences will deter others from engaging in similar conduct and that today’s reform, together with the knowledge of your contribution towards them, will help to heal some of the hurt you have suffered. Kind regards, Mark Speakman Attorney General

Michael Guider is guilty of horrific crimes against children so I readily understand the acute community concern about this matter. Thursday morning’s meeting of the State Parole Authority considered the matter of Michael Guider. The prisoner submitted no application for parole; parole was not granted. These decisions are made by the State Parole Authority not the Attorney General.
