Does any killer convicted in Australia get life without parole?

QLD spent at least $1 mil to capture this killer who had escaped abroad. And he has no remorse, killing a random stranger (for walking a dog).

There are a few who fittingly received life without parole, there are more, but this is just a quick example:-


MARTIN BRYANT — Port Arthur gunman, Tasmania


KATHERINE KNIGHT — Sadistic husband killer and cannibal, New South Wales


IVAN MILAT — Backpacker serial killer, New South Wales

​

Justin Stein sentenced to life in prison without parole for the murder of nine-year-old schoolgirl Charlise Mutten.​

I’ve never heard this suggestion of perversion…..

'Shocking and sickening'​

“He (Justice Crowley) said there was an obvious explanation for Singh's "shocking and sickening act of violence".

"Given the vicious attack that transpired, it is quite possible that she discovered you there, engaged in some type of disgraceful, embarrassing activity at a secluded spot where your true self could emerge, uninhibited," Justice Crowley said.

"And where the deeper, darker urges and desires could reveal themselves."

Justice Crowley said the obvious explanation for Singh's "shocking and sickening act of violence" was that Ms Cordingley challenged him over some behaviour of a "sexual and perverted" nature.

"Given you took her mobile phone after you killed her, it raises the prospect that she may have recorded you or sought to tell the authorities after catching you doing whatever you were doing."

Toyah Cordingley's 'opportunistic' murderer sentenced to life in prison

Rajwinder Singh, 41, was found guilty of the Far North Queensland woman's 2018 murder on a secluded beach north of Cairns. He then fled to India, hiding out for about four years before his arrest and extradition.

Someone like @TootsieFootsie will know!

Thanks for the vote of confidence but I'm no expert on how long sentences will be.

Is it more fixed these days and less likely that someone could get only nine years for their wife's death ?
