CRIMINAL LAW AMENDMENT (UNCERTAIN DATES) BILL 2019

Second Reading

Resumed from 25 November.

HON ALISON XAMON (North Metropolitan) [10.28 am]: I will continue my remarks from yesterday, when I was addressing the problem of uncertain dates in four particular scenarios. The four sets of provisions that I outlined are not mutually exclusive. They can operate together when necessary—for example, if there is uncertainty about both the date of the offence and the age of the victim at the time the offence was committed.

COMPLIMENTARY REMARKS

HON ALISON XAMON (North Metropolitan) [6.20 pm]: I rise on behalf of the Greens to note the end of what has been an interesting term and a quite unprecedented and extraordinary year. Every year of this term, our members have taken turns to give the traditional Christmas greeting, and here I am doing so at the end of this term. I was concerned that members had not heard enough from me, so I am here to ensure that they get to hear more from me now!
