'Term of imprisonment' in s 175(1)(a)(i)(A) of the Corrective Services Act 1988 (Qld) means the term imposed by the sentencing court, not the term reduced by remissions. A parole order made under that provision may therefore require supervision for a period extending to the end of the full sentence as imposed, notwithstanding that the prisoner had earned remissions that would have entitled earlier release from custody. Parole and remission operate as alternative, mutually exclusive schemes for release from custody under the Queensland legislation.
