A sentencing judge who orders an offender to serve the remainder of a suspended sentence under s 147(1)(b) of the Penalties and Sentences Act 1992 (Qld) has no power to attach a parole recommendation under s 157(2), because such an order is not the 'imposition of a term of imprisonment'. Parole eligibility in such cases is governed by s 166 of the Corrective Services Act 1988 (Qld), requiring the offender to have served half of the original term of imprisonment.
