Convicted paedophiles would be denied passports in Australia under a plan proposed by the government

   Convicted paedophiles would be denied passports in Australia under a plan proposed by the government.
    The proposal, yet to be introduced to parliament, would prohibit registered sex offenders from travelling overseas.

Justice Minister, Michael Keenan, said the move would affect about 20,000 offenders who had completed punishments but remained under monitoring by authorities.
   However, Sex offenders would be able to apply for passports if they were no longer on the register.
   No country has ever made such decisive and strong action to stop its citizens from going overseas, often to vulnerable countries, to abuse kids.
