HOOD Legislative Council Youth Crime In reply to the Hon. D.G.E. HOOD ().25 September 2024). The Hon. K.J. MAHER Legislative Council Minister for Aboriginal Affairs Attorney-General Minister for Industrial Relations and Public Sector Youth Crime The Hon. K.J. MAHER (Minister for Aboriginal Affairs, Attorney-General, Minister for Industrial Relations and Public Sector): I have been advised: Section 66N(3) of the Summary Offences Act 1953 provides that a declaration of a declared public precinct may be made either on the Attorney-General's own motion, or on the recommendation of the commissioner. In practice, such declarations have been made on recommendation by the Commissioner of Police. This is particularly because such a declaration can only be made by the Attorney-General if they are satisfied of the matters set out in section 66N(2). Advice and material from South Australia Police has been important in the Attorney-General being satisfied that these criteria have been met prior to making declarations.
