Qld govt has plan B over sex offender THE Queensland government is considering tougher laws to ensure serial sex offender Robert John Fardon remains behind bars. Attorney-General Jarrod Bleijie says he has a "plan B" if his appeal against Fardon's release fails. Fardon was briefly freed last week after a Brisbane judge ruled he could be released under strict supervision orders. But he was back behind bars a few hours later, after the attorney-general lodged an urgent appeal, saying he believed Fardon posed an ongoing risk to the community. The 64-year-old has been serving an indefinite jail term for sex offences against women and girls dating back to 1967. Court of Appeal judge Philip Morrison on Wednesday delayed a decision whether to grant Fardon freedom. He adjourned the matter to Thursday, and extended the stay order to keep Fardon in prison until 4pm on Thursday. A spokesman for Mr Bleijie told AAP there is a plan B but declined to go into details. "We are not going to change the laws unless it's absolutely necessary," he said. He did confirm the government is looking at whether the periodic 12-month review of whether to release dangerous sex offenders under supervision orders should be less frequent. Fardon's barrister Dan O'Gorman expressed concern over media reports and criticised Mr Bleijie. "It's inappropriate for the first law officer (Mr Bleijie) of this state to be using the media this way especially with the full knowledge the present proceedings is before this court," Mr O'Gorman said. He did not oppose the delay but expressed concern that every additional day could be an additional day of freedom Fardon loses. Justice Morrison told the court the main reason for Wednesday's delay was because a transcript was not available yet.
