VIOLENT SEX OFFENDERS — PAROLE
1467. Hon NICK GOIRAN to the minister representing the
Minister for Police:
I
refer to the minister's answer on 19 October 2023 to my question
without notice 1326 that revealed that three return to prison warrants
are outstanding for offenders who are known to be in custody in another
jurisdiction.
(1) For how long has each of these
three warrants been outstanding?
(2) What are the
names of these three fugitives?
(3) What is
the earliest date of release from custody in each of these three

arrangements are in place to ensure that these warrants are executed at the
first possible instance?
