Where a person on parole is sentenced for offences not committed during the parole period, ss 22(2) and 25(8) of the Parole Act 1976 (ACT) do not apply; the sentencing judge's obligation is confined to fixing a new non-parole period under s 8, and it is proper (though not statutorily required) to take account of the existing parole order. Section 360 of the Crimes Act 1900 (ACT) operates of its own force and a sentencing judge's silence on the reckoning does not constitute error, though the terms of orders should not create confusion for prison authorities.
