Criminal Law Reform

The Hon. D.G.E. HOOD (14:54): Supplementary: Attorney, do your deliberations on this matter include considerations of what substance has been consumed and how much of that substance may have been consumed?

The Hon. K.J. MAHER (Minister for Aboriginal Affairs, Attorney-General, Minister for Industrial Relations and Public Sector) (14:54): I think the laws as they stand use the words 'substantially affected'. It would vary from case to case depending on what the substance was and how much was consumed, but as I say, it is a complex area of law, and that is why we have gone out to public consultation.
