Shane Rattenbury, MLA
The Government has partnered with the Aboriginal Legal Service to develop a two-year bail support program to address the over-representation of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people in our justice system, Minister for Justice Shane Rattenbury announced today.
As part of the Government’s commitment to Justice Reinvestment, reducing recidivism and strengthening communities, the two-year trial will see the development of a culturally appropriate model for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander detainees at the Alexander McConachie Centre.
