The Parole Board Queensland cannot rely on s 341(3) of the Corrective Services Act 2006 (Qld) to withhold confidential information from a prisoner where that information was relied upon as a reason for suspending or cancelling parole. Where the Board relies on confidential information, it must disclose that information in the information notice to comply with ss 208(1) and (4) and s 27B of the Acts Interpretation Act 1954 (Qld). Section 341(3) merely provides a lawful excuse for such disclosure; it does not confer a discretion to avoid the obligation.
