NT Legislative Assembly live blog: Two more crime bills for CLP to clear from its in-tray
Welcome to our rolling coverage of the Legislative Assembly’s second sitting week. The CLP government still has two expedited crime bills to pass, and its corrections plan is likely to come under question time fire.
Welcome back to our rolling coverage of the Northern Territory Legislative Assembly, which has entered its second sitting week.
The CLP government passed three pieces of legislation last week – Declan’s Law (comprising amendments to two separate acts) and an amendment to the Criminal Code creating two new offences and lowering the age of criminal responsibility.
It still has two more law and order bills in its in-tray, and will also introduce a bill to formalise its HomeGrown Territory grant scheme.
Don’t stray far, as it’s set to be a consequential week for the Territory.
