CORRECTIVE SERVICES ACT 2006 - SECT 182A
Parole eligibility date for prisoner serving term of imprisonment for other particular serious offences
182A Parole eligibility date for prisoner serving term of imprisonment for
other particular serious offences
(1) This section applies to a prisoner who— (a) is serving a term of
imprisonment for a drug trafficking offence; and
(b) was sentenced for the
offence under the Drugs Misuse Act 1986 , section 5 (2) as in force before the
commencement of the Serious and Organised Crime Legislation Amendment Act 2016
, section 164 .
(2) Also, this section applies to a prisoner who is serving a
term of imprisonment, other than a term of imprisonment for life, for an
offence against the Criminal Code , section 314A .
(3) The prisoner’s
parole eligibility date is the day after the day on which the prisoner has
served— (a) if the prisoner is serving a term of imprisonment for a drug
trafficking offence—80% of the term; or
(b) if the prisoner is serving a
term of imprisonment for an offence against the Criminal Code , section 314A
—the lesser of the following— (i) 80% of the term;
(ii) 15 years.
(3A)
However, if the term of imprisonment for the offence against the Criminal Code
, section 314A was imposed under the Penalties and Sentences Act 1992 ,
section 161R (2) , the prisoner’s parole eligibility date is the day that is
worked out by adding the relevant further period to the notional parole
eligibility date fixed for the prisoner under subsection (3B) .
(3B) The
notional parole eligibility date is the day that would apply under subsection
(3) if the term of imprisonment imposed on the prisoner under the
Penalties and Sentences Act 1992 , section 161R (2) consisted only of the base
component of the sentence imposed under that section.
(4) Despite subsections
(3) and (3A) , if a later parole eligibility date is fixed for the period of
imprisonment under the Penalties and Sentences Act 1992 , part 9 , division 3
, the prisoner’s parole eligibility date is the later date fixed under that
division.
(5) This section is subject to section 185 .
