QUEENSLAND'S attorney-general is seeking legal advice about appealing a court decision to release a violent serial rapist from jail.
A Supreme Court judge ruled on Friday that 64-year-old Robert Fardon be released, but under strict supervision.
Justice Peter Lyons, who presided over a periodic review of Fardon's indefinite jail term, said a formal order would be issued at a later date.
But Attorney-General Jarrod Bleijie says he wants to intervene to stop the release, though he is seeking legal advice before making a final decision.
"I've read the judgment. I've read the evidence and I form a view that this person still poses significant risk to the community," Mr Bleijie told reporters.
The attorney-general said that when he received advice from the solicitor-general he would request a stay of the release order and launch an appeal.
"This government will do whatever is necessary to keep Robert John Fardon behind bars."
In 2003, Fardon became the first person detained indefinitely under Queensland's Dangerous Prisoners (Sexual Offenders) Act.
He has been convicted of sex offences against women and girls dating back to 1967, when he was 18.
The state has successfully appealed orders from three different judges to release Fardon since 2011.
