The Victorian government will join the fight to stop convicted murderer and serial rapist Adrian Bayley receiving Legal Aid funding for an appeal.
Bayley is taking court action after Victoria Legal Aid refused to fund his Supreme Court appeal bid over rapes he committed before he killed Melbourne woman Jill Meagher.
