Quick Take

Section 43A(5) of the Dangerous Prisoners (Sexual Offenders) Act 2003 (Qld) preserves a released person's status as a 'prisoner' only for the purposes of the rehearing of a remitted application for a final division 3 order, and does not authorise the making of interim supervision or detention orders under s 8(2)(b) in respect of a person who is not otherwise in custody.
