Proposed amendment
Hon Mark Mitchell, in Committee, to move the following amendment:
Clause 6
In clause 6, after new section 85A (page 3, after line 13), insert:
85B Minimum sentence must be cumulative on existing sentence of imprisonment
(1)
This section applies if—
(b)
at the time of sentencing, the offender is detained under an existing determinate sentence of imprisonment.
(2)
The court must direct that any sentence of imprisonment imposed in respect of an offence against section 189A of the Crimes Act 1961 is to be imposed cumulatively on any other determinate sentence of imprisonment, unless the court considers that would be manifestly unjust.
