Sure, but the best way for him off the streets is with a thorough legal process. Which (unfortunately) means slooooowwww….

The wait for the trial seemed so long, it's hard to believe it's about to begin.
Daybell, Morphew and Trump cases for me, but I'll make time! So little is know about this case, I can't wait to have the story emerge.
(Something that has been bugging me- I remember reading that the suspect in this case showered at a motel after the crime, and that blood from one or both of the victims had been recovered from the bathmat? Does anyone remember this? Was it recovered months afterwards?)
Is this maybe what you are recalling?
A hotel room in the region was said to be left with numerous bloodstains after the incident, according to the officer’s statement, all of which were cleaned apart from a possible stain on a bathmat.

The Missing Campers Trial Podcast
I think it will all be down to exactly what hard evidence the police have on him as to whether he's eventually convicted of either manslaughter or murder, or both!
GL has certainly shown 'rat cunning' (changing car colour, disposal of bodies etc) so it will be interesting to see what's comes out in court.
All my own opinion

Wow, up to 112 witnesses could be called to the trial. (as per your linked article)

He has already been charged with murder. Today he pleaded not guilty to the charges. Maybe you mean convicted?
A plea deal for a lesser charge (like manslaughter) hasn't been spoken of in MSM, but I guess it is a possibility still - although I think that typically happens prior to a trial.
I think that the shaky thing here is if his lawyer has been able to get his police interview thrown out of evidence. IIRC he was going to try to do that. He had a problem with the police interview. Although I have read that the police allowed GL to shower and eat before interviewing him, and that he was a willing participant.
imo
Mr Lynn, who was dressed in a dark-coloured suit, stood in front of dozens of potential jurors and formally pleaded "not guilty" to murdering Russell Hill and Carol Clay.

Thanks, wrong choice of wording & I've edited it to read correctly now.He has already been charged with murder. Today he pleaded not guilty to the charges. Maybe you mean convicted?

Wonder who they can all possibly be? Seems to be a very high number.
He was a training captain at Jetstar it was mentioned. Looking at some EBAs he is likely on 350k a year so highly unlikely he is short of coin.
Dollars do run out eventually especially when one is unemployed. Not sure how the superannuation system works if one is able to tap that, he might be able to sell his house also.
Good points.
I was mainly querying the funding because of the media reports last year and it seems that has changed now.
Here's a couple of links from June 2023 which note the funding options/difficulties.
Trial date set in accused camper killer's case
A trial date has been confirmed for accused double killer Greg Lynn, but there's concerns about his ability...
Not sure when Jetstar sacked him, obviously got a payout with that.
Might have sold his property? No idea if his partner is still standing with him, thought I read she was last year.
Under Victorian law, what sort of time frame are we looking at here if found guilty? 20 years? Doubt he will ever be employed as Flight Crew again.

He is not allowed to sell his house. The police put a restraint on that in June 2023. The restraint will remain until the trial is over.
If he is found guilty it is said that there is a 'possibility' that it could be sold and the money given to the victims families.
If he is acquitted the restraint will be lifted and sole ownership returned to his wife (she became sole owner in Jan 2022).
Development in case of Jetstar pilot accused of killing secret lovers
