<br /> <p>Australian Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull called for serious parole reforms on June 6 after it was revealed Brighton gunman Yacqub Khayre was on parole for serious violent crimes and had known terror connections.</p><p>It was reported by AAP</a> that Khayre was involved in a foiled terrorist suicide attack at Holsworthy Barracks in 2009. He stood trial and was acquitted in 2010 for planning a shooting rampage at one of the country’s biggest military bases. In 2012 he was jailed for a violent home invasion and was on parole on June 5 when he lured a female sex worker at a Brighton apartment block, before exchanging gunfire with specialist police.</p><p>The standoff on Monday night</a> resulted in the deaths of two people, the apartment receptionist and Khayre himself, and three injured police officers.</p><p>“How was this man on parole?” Turnbull asked in a Canberra press conference on June 6. "He had a long record of violence. A very long record of violence. He had been charged with a terrorist offence some years ago and had been acquitted. He was known to have connections, at least in the past, with violent extremism.</p><p>“This issue of parole has to be addressed. There have been too many cases of people on parole committing violent offences of this kind.”</p><p>He added there would be examination of existing post-sentencing laws to detain criminals who have served their sentence but are considered high-risk to the community.</p><br />
