Report 9

MR CAIN (Ginninderra) (11.52): I present the following report:

Justice and Community Safety—Standing Committee—Report 9—Inquiry into Community Corrections, dated 27 July 2022, together with a copy of the extracts of the relevant minutes of proceedings.

I move:

That the report be noted.

MR CAIN: This is the ninth report of the Standing Committee on Justice and Community Safety, tabled out of session on 27 July 2022.

The report makes 13 recommendations representing a unanimous view of the committee on a range of issues. The committee notes that the Sentence Administration Board currently has to conduct all hearings virtually, rather than in the ACT courts precinct, which has led to problems, including outstanding warrants.

The committee has made a recommendation that the ACT government and the ACT judiciary work collaboratively to enable the Sentence Administration Board to sit within the court complex and that the Attorney-General report quarterly to the Assembly until this is resolved.

On behalf of the committee, I would like to thank everyone who contributed to this inquiry. I thank the other members of the committee, Dr Paterson and Mr Braddock, as well as former members of this committee who reported to this report, Mr Hanson and Ms Clay, and I thank the secretariat for their professional support. I commend the report to the Assembly.

Question resolved in the affirmative.
