There is also a transitional provision which applies the existing law to persons released on bail before the new legislation comes into force. It is for this reason that section 358AI of the Crimes Act, which makes it an offence to breach bail, remains in place for the time being. Clause 46 of the Bail Bill, which proposes the same offence, will not apply to those persons.
The provisions of this Bill are necessary to give full effect to the proposed Bail Bill. They are technical and do not make any substantive changes to the law which are not already proposed in the Bail Bill. I commend the Bill to the members of the Assembly and present the explanatory memorandum for the Bill.
Debate (on motion by Mr Humphries) adjourned.
