CRIMES (SENTENCING) ACT 2005 - SECT 68

Nonparole periods—review of decision on nonparole period

    (1)     This section applies if the court fails to set, or fails to set properly, a nonparole period for a sentence of imprisonment.

    (2)     The court may set a nonparole period on the application of any of the following people:

        (a)     the Attorney-General;

        (b)     the director of public prosecutions;

        (c)     the secretary of the sentence administration board;

        (d)     the offender.

    (3)     To remove any doubt, this section does not apply in relation to a period of full-time detention that is consequent on the suspension or cancellation of a periodic detention period.

Note     If an offender's periodic detention period is suspended or cancelled, the suspended part or the remainder of the sentence of periodic detention must be served by full-time detention (see Crimes (Sentence Administration) Act 2005 , s 79).
