Quick Take

The status of 'supervised offender' under the Crimes (High Risk Offenders) Act 2006 (NSW) is assessed at the time an application for an extended supervision order is filed, not at the time of determination, and 'current custody or supervision' in s 10(1) refers only to custody or supervision within the defined categories of s 5I(2)(a).
