The rate of sexual assaults being reported in Tasmania is a serious concern and highlights the need for continued investment, support, and reform
Moving back to something I asked you about last year, the processes and the funding available for victims of crime.
The latest ROGS data on Justice again confirms the State has gone backwards, socially, under the Liberals.
A person who witnessed a crime is only able to paid a maximum or $20 000. A relative can be paid a maximum of $10 000.
The State Budget has confirmed the Liberals’ ‘tough on crime’ approach has failed, with millions more allocated to fund the overflowing prisons.
The announcement that funding will be made available for Legal Aid in tomorrow’s State Budget is welcome.
Generally, indefinite detention of a person can be the result of two different types of orders, depending on the time at which the order is made.
After six years in government, it is clear the Liberals’ approach to crime and justice is failing on every front.
I will commence my second reading comments on behalf of the Greens to say that we will be supporting this Evidence Amendment Bill 2020.
The Tasmanian Parliament will have the opportunity to eliminate the criminal offence of begging in Greens’ Private Members’ Time next week.
