Jack Beasley was a fun-loving 17-year-old enjoying a night out with friends in Surfers Paradise when his life was tragically cut short, stabbed by a stranger 12 days before Christmas 2019.

Following Jack’s senseless death, his parents Brett and Belinda turned their grief into a national campaign to toughen knife laws and spare other families their pain. Determined to make our streets safer, they created the Jack Beasley Foundation in memory of their beautiful son.

His enduring legacy is Jack’s Law, which was passed in the Queensland Parliament in 2023, giving police the power to use metal-detecting wands to scan people for deadly weapons in designated safe night precincts and on public transport. That has been expanded to now include all public places, anywhere, anytime, and has resulted in more than 3200 arrests.

Versions of Jack’s Law have since been enacted in Western Australia, New South Wales, South Australia, Northern Territory and Tasmania (where it is known as Reid’s Law, honouring father-of-two Reid Ludwig, who was also fatally stabbed in 2019).

In most states, restrictions still apply on when/where searches can take place.

The ACT government this year rejected a motion for broader random wanding powers, citing insufficient supporting evidence and civil liberties concerns.

And while Victoria did expand police search powers in designated areas, a Bill bearing Jack’s name further enhancing their ability to detect concealed weapons and formalising electronic wand use was voted down by the government during debate last month.

Brett Beasley remains resolute. He recently met Victoria’s Premier and travelled to the UK to advocate for knifedetection law reform internationally.

As his family marks six years without their beloved boy, we pause to remember Jack and reflect on the life-saving impact he continues to have on Australian society.
