Corrective Services Act 2006

This section applies if—

a prisoner is serving a term of imprisonment for an offence against the Weapons Act 1990, section 50, 50B or 65; and

a minimum penalty applies to the offence under the following provisions of that Act—

section 50(1), penalty, paragraph (d) or (e);

section 50B(1), penalty, paragraph (d) or (e);

section 65(1), penalty, paragraph (a) or (b); and

apart from this section, the prisoner would be eligible for parole under this subdivision before the prisoner has served a term of imprisonment that is the minimum penalty for the offence.

The prisoner’s parole eligibility date is the day after the day on which the prisoner has served a term of imprisonment that is the minimum penalty for the offence.

However, if the term of imprisonment was imposed under the Penalties and Sentences Act 1992, section 161R(2) for an offence against the Weapons Act 1990, section 50B or 65, the prisoner’s parole eligibility date is the day that is worked out by adding the relevant further period to the parole eligibility date that would otherwise apply to the prisoner under subsection (2).
