CRIMINAL LAW CONSOLIDATION (APPEALS) AMENDMENT BILL

Adjourned debate on second reading.

The Hon. IAN GILFILLAN: This is the same bill which was before us in the previous session. Although it is now presented afresh to a new session we, the Democrats, have not changed our opinion of the bill. We oppose the bill as, in our view, it seeks to impose-perhaps unwittingly - double jeopardy on criminal defendants. Rather than go through the basis of the argument which we put forward in the previous session, I refer members to my contribution of June 4  1998 , which is recorded in Hansard of that date at page 858. I repeat: the Democrats remain opposed to this bill and will vote against the second reading.
