Access To Justice

393. Hon ALISON XAMON to the Leader of the House representing the Attorney General:

I refer to fines enforcement during the COVID-19 pandemic.

(1)  How many warrants of commitment for a fine default have been issued during the COVID-19 emergency period?

(2)  Has the Attorney General taken any action to ensure warrants of commitment to imprison fine defaulters are not issued during this period?

(3)  If no to (2), why not?

2814. Hon Alison Xamon to the minister representing the Minister for Housing:

I refer to the Auditor General’s audit of the Disruptive Behaviour Management Policy, and to recommendation 1(e), that the Department ‘review the mental health referral process to ensure staff are able to direct tenants to appropriate service providers’, and I ask:

(a)  has this review been undertaken; and

(b)  if yes to (a), please advise any changes that have taken place as a result of the review;
