Liquor Thefts

In reply to the Hon. H.M. GIROLAMO (Deputy Leader of the Opposition) ().6 February 2025).

The Hon. K.J. MAHER (Minister for Aboriginal Affairs, Attorney-General, Minister for Industrial Relations and Public Sector, Special Minister of State): I am advised that specific data on liquor theft offences is not collected.

I have engaged the South Australian Law Reform Institute to undertake a review of the operation of the Bail Act 1985. SALRI's review will assess its practical operation and role in the criminal justice system. In addition to this and arising out of the Young Offender Plan which I released in March, consideration is being given to strengthening bail laws in relation to serious repeat young offenders.
