I am not prepared to authorise the use of the very considerable resources that would be involved in providing the detailed information required to answer the Member’s question.

The information sought is not compiled routinely by the courts. To obtain the information, special information technology arrangements would be required as well as the diversion of significant staff time.

Detailed information on courts sentencing results is available in the ACT Criminal Justice Statistical Profile, which is tabled in the Legislative Assembly each quarter.
