The Supreme Court may do any or all of the following —
affirm or set aside a decision by the Commission not to release the person or any condition imposed by the Commission on the release of the person;
make any order that the Commission may make in relation to the detention or release of the person;
order the person be brought before the Supreme Court.
The Supreme Court may also exercise its powers under subsection (2) where the Commission has not made a decision on the release of the person.
An order under subsection (2) is taken to be an order of the Commission.
The Commission shall facilitate the person’s access to legal representation in order to make an application under subsection (1).
