NAPAC comments on the Robert Excell case

Peter Saunders was interviewed by Sky News today regarding the case of Robert Excell, a paedophile who has been in prison in Australia for 37 years due to sex attacks on boys.

He was also interviewed live on ABC Australian Radio and television.

NAPAC considers that if Excell is as dangerous as described, then he should not be granted freedom without very strict supervision. Also the question arises of why he not been deported years ago because he has re-offended on a number of occasions.
