Derryn Hinch to finish 'Jail to Justice' walk
Broadcaster Derryn Hinch is making his way into Melbourne on the last leg of his 'Jail to Justice' walk.
Some of Australia's most prominent victims of crime, including Daniel Morcombe's parents, have joined him in demanding a national public register of sex offenders.
The walk started this morning in Brunswick, close to the spot where Jill Meagher was abducted from the streets before she was raped and murdered.
It will continue through city streets to Victoria's State Parliament on Spring Street where Derryn Hinch expects to have meetings with senior government ministers.
He will be joined along the way by victims of crime, many of them parents of murder victims, including Bruce and Denise Morcombe in memory of their son Daniel, and Rosie Batty, whose son Luke was killed by her estranged partner.
Bruce Morcombe said: "We're there to back up Derryn and really encourage people to come along to Spring Street, Victoria Parliament House and join us in the protest and really make a stand because we want to make a difference.
"Derryn's about making sure Australia is a great place to raise a kid. A very safe place and we're backing that up."
Hinch began the walk ten days ago. He started outside the Langi Kal Kal jail in Trawalla, about 150 kilometres north-west of Melbourne, where he spent 50 days for breaching a suppression order in the Jill Meagher murder case.
He is campaigning for tougher parole conditions for criminals, longer sentences and for a national sex offenders' register.
Hinch expects the walk to reach Parliament House a little after midday.
He will also present government ministers with a petition containing more than 100,000 signatures calling for the sex offenders register to be established.
