THE mother of schoolgirl Tiahleigh Palmer has taken aim at the justice system on the eve of the second anniversary of her daughter’s death.

Cindy Palmer posted to the Facebook page #Justice4Tiahleigh on Wednesday, with Josh Thorburn due to be released from prison today after serving three months behind bars for perjury and attempting to pervert the course of justice.

Mr Thorburn, 21, was found guilty of lying to police and Queensland’s Crime and Corruption Commission when asked about the disappearance of Tiahleigh, 12, in October 2015.

His father Rick Thorburn has been committed to stand trial over Tiahleigh’s death.

“It has been brought to my attention that ... Josh Thorburn will be saying goodbye to his old life in prison and will (today) be let out to move on with and live a fulfilling life,” Ms Palmer wrote.

“He will be able to put this whole thing behind him and go on with his life. Just another kick in the face to show you how much more rights/protection and leniency criminals have these days.

“I will be sitting here going through court processes, dealing with the everyday heartbreak of the brutal death of my daughter while he goes on as if nothing happened.”

Ms Palmer finished the post with the hashtags #victimshavenorights, #justicesystemsucks and #therewillneverbeanyjusticeinthisworld.

Tiahleigh was last seen on October 29, 2015 before her body was found on the banks of the Pimpama River on November 5.
