Victorian Premier Denis Napthine will meet with the husband of murdered Melbourne woman Jill Meagher to hear his concerns about the state's parole system, despite a review already being complete.
Mr Meagher is disappointed he was not interviewed as part of the review, even though the investigation was sparked by his wife's murder by convicted rapist Adrian Bayley who was on parole.
Retired High Court judge Ian Callinan has now completed his review, which also examined a number of other murders by parolees, and handed his recommendations to Corrections Minister Ed O'Donohue.
The report will then go to a cabinet sub-committee established to examine its recommendations.
Dr Napthine, who has yet to read the report, said he had been advised Mr Callinan had spoken to a number of victims groups and individual families affected by such crimes.
But he will meet with Mr Meagher next week to hear his concerns.
Mr Meagher has demanded to know why the Adult Parole Board allowed Bayley to be paroled, and was not sent back to jail even after he assaulted someone months before the high-profile slaying of Jill Meagher in a Brunswick laneway last September.
"I personally will be meeting with Tom Meagher next week to hear first hand from Mr Meagher his concerns about the operation of the justice system and the parole system in Victoria," he said.
"It is impossible for any of us to put ourselves in Tom Meagher's position.
"We can empathise, we can sympathise, and we can certainly listen to the points he has to make and that's what I'll be doing."
Opposition deputy leader James Merlino said the premier should meet with every family that had raised concerns about adult parole, or hold a public inquiry.
"It is a good thing that the advice of Mr Meagher is finally going to be heeded and the premier is meeting with Mr Meagher," Mr Merlino said.
"But there are many, many families that have raised serious concerns about the system and about adult parole in this state."
Mr Merlino said there were deep-seated problems with the system that needed to be reviewed, but it should be done publicly.
Victims and justice groups have been pressuring the government into making the Adult Parole Board of Victoria more transparent and accountable.
