Question
  1. Has convicted paedophile Dennis Ferguson made contact with Alexandria Brookes?
  2. Were Dennis Ferguson and Alexandria Brookes convicted of abducting and raping three New South Wales children?
  3. What procedures are carried out by the Police to monitor convicted paedophiles to prevent them renewing their association?
    1. Have Dennis Ferguson and Alexandria Brookes breached their parole?
    2. If so, what action will be taken?
Answer

The New South Wales Police Force has advised me that Mr Ferguson has recently attempted to contact Mr Brookes, who together with Mr Ferguson was convicted for the kidnapping and sexual assault of three children.

Mr Ferguson is not currently on parole and Mr Brookes is currently an inmate of Corrective Services New South Wales.

If necessary the New South Wales Police Force may apply to a Local Court for a Child Protection Prohibition Order under the Child Protection (Offenders Prohibition Orders) Act 2004 to limit the movements and associations of child sex offenders.
