Parole Orders (Transfer) Act 1983

This section applies to an interstate parolee – who holds an interstate travel permit that authorises the parolee to travel to this State; and who is present in this State.

The Parole Board may issue a warrant for the parolee's arrest – if advised by the relevant interstate Director that the interstate travel permit is no longer in force in this State; or if of the opinion that the parolee has failed to comply with the conditions of the interstate travel permit.

A warrant under subsection (2) is sufficient authority for a local law enforcement officer – to arrest the parolee; and to convey the parolee to a place specified in the warrant (whether in this State or in another State or a Territory); and to deliver the parolee into the custody of an interstate law enforcement officer of the State or Territory in which the interstate travel permit was issued.

For the avoidance of doubt, a warrant issued under subsection (2) authorises a local law enforcement officer to convey the parolee within or across any other State or a Territory for the purpose of taking the parolee to a place specified in the warrant.
