Sentencing Act Reform

The Hon. J.R. RAU (Enfield) (14:52): Thank you very much, Mr Speaker—

Members interjecting:

The SPEAKER: Order! I can't keep up with the anticipation in here. Member for Enfield, please.

The Hon. J.R. RAU: You wait until you hear the question. My question, surprisingly, is to the Attorney-General. Is the Attorney-General still of the view that the Sentencing Act 2017 allows court-ordered home detention for serious offences like terrorism and murder?

The Hon. V.A. CHAPMAN (Bragg—Deputy Premier, Attorney-General) (14:52): I won't hold the member for Enfield SC in suspense on this matter. Although I think he probably would know the answer and any legal opinion on this matter, I would refer him to section 70 of the Sentencing Act.
