Project No. 30

The reference was withdrawn in 1982. The Commission was of the view that this reference should be withdrawn in light of the report of the Committee of Inquiry into the Rate of Imprisonment in Western Australia and the report of the Australian Law Reform Commission on the sentencing of federal offenders. It was intended that any aspects of the reference not covered by the Committee of Inquiry’s report and the work of the ALRC, were to be dealt with by the Commission as part of its extensive review of the Justices Act 1902 (WA).
