Jack Beasley’s parents are breathing a sigh of relief as the boy who fatally stabbed their son has had his attempt to appeal the length of his sentence rejected.

Jack’s father, Brett Beasley, told Peter Fegan on Brisbane Live that today has been “the best day” in light of their son’s killer having his court appeal refused.

“He is where he deserves to be… He took Jack’s life”, Mr Beasley told Peter Fegan.

If the appeal to shorten his sentence had of gone through, Mr Beasley said “it would have killed us, especially Belinda [Jack’s mother] and my oldest boy Mitch”.

It all comes on the same day that a paramedic was stabbed at a Campbelltown store in Sydney’s south-west during their break.

The 29-year-old paramedic later died of their injuries.

Mr Beasley told Peter Fegan, that “this is why Jack’s law needs to go Australia-wide”.

Jack’s law gives Queensland police the power to stop people in party precincts to search for weapons.

QPS Assistant Commissioner Mark Wheeler also joined Peter Fegan to comment on the court appeal today and Jack’s law.

Mr Wheeler said “Jack’s Law rolling out through Queensland is an exceptional result for Queensland”.

He confirmed that he had received “inquiries from other states and territories” about potentially expanding Jack’s law beyond Queensland.
