Does he agree that bail laws need to be further tightened, in light of revelations that Haiden Davis was on bail for a violent offence when he killed Augustine Borrell; if not, why not?

PowerHon SIMON POWER (Minister of Justice) Link to this

Yes; which is why this Government campaigned on tightening the Bail Act. In addition to the law that the Government passed within its first month of office, we also promised to review the Bail Act. This work is under way.

Will the Minister consider a return to requiring bail sureties, which are set out in the Habeas Corpus Act 1679, and which are in place in the United States and Canada; if not, why not?

PowerHon SIMON POWER Link to this

No, I have not considered it, but, as always, I am happy to discuss any suggestion that the member may make to improve the criminal justice system.
