CORRECTIONAL SERVICES (PAROLE) AMENDMENT BILL

Second Reading

Adjourned debate on second reading.

(Continued from 14 May 2009. Page 2774.)

The Hon. I.F. EVANS (Davenport) (11:23): The opposition supports this bill. As there is only three minutes of this private members' session to go, I will not hold the house long, as a courtesy to the member for Mitchell. The opposition supports this bill, which effectively means that there is no automatic parole for those people sentenced to less than five years' imprisonment for violent offences. The opposition thinks that is a good message to send to the community; that is, there should not be parole for people in those circumstances. Therefore, we support the bill and look forward to its vote.

Mrs GERAGHTY (Torrens) (11:23): I move:

That the debate be adjourned.
