VICTIMS OF CRIME BILL 1994

MR CONNOLLY (Attorney-General and Minister for Health) (11.10): Mr Deputy Speaker, I present the Victims of Crime Bill 1994.

Title read by Clerk.

MR CONNOLLY: I move:

That this Bill be agreed to in principle.

Mr Deputy Speaker, this Bill is a significant step forward in redressing the traditional inequality and imbalance that victims have felt in relation to their position in the criminal justice system. The measures contained in this Bill and the Acts Revision (Victims of Crime) Bill 1994, which I also present today, together with reforms which will be given administrative effect, will provide victims of crime with the measure of dignity to which they are entitled through ensuring that they are accorded an appropriate and recognised position within the criminal justice system.
