Qld Speaker backs no body, no parole law

Queensland's independent Speaker Peter Wellington is calling for the state government to bring in "no body, no parole" laws.

Mr Wellington has written to Police Minister Bill Byrne asking him to change the state's laws to ensure murderers who hide their victim's bodies are denied parole.

"In my electorate of Nicklin Derek Sam was convicted of murdering schoolgirl Jessica Gaudie in 1999 and I understand he refuses to say where her body is. I believe he should never be considered for parole, unless he reveals where her body is," he said in a statement on Facebook.
