The Debate
What different members said when this bill was debated:
Susan Carter LIB
“Not everything we do in this place is high drama. The operations of Parliament and the processes of managing the affairs of New South Wales often require small legislative changes. That is exactly what the Crime and Criminal Procedure Legislation Amendment Bill 2023 does. Housekeeping bills are generally uncontroversial.”
Abigail Boyd GRN
“I make a contribution to debate on the Crime and Criminal Procedure Legislation Amendment Bill 2023. I note that my colleague Ms Sue Higginson will also speak to indicate The Greens’ support for the bill. In relation to the domestic violence aspects of the bill, we are in support of the proposed changes.”
Sue Higginson GRN
“As my colleague indicated, The Greens support the Crime and Criminal Procedure Legislation Amendment Bill 2023. I fully endorse the contribution of my colleague Ms Abigail Boyd. The Greens welcome the bill’s amendment to the Children (Detention Centres) Act.”
Bob Nanva ALP
“I contribute to debate on the Crime and Criminal Procedure Legislation Amendment Bill 2023, which I support. Bills that deal with obscure and disconnected issues can seem unimportant, but they often contain a range of vitally important matters to the agencies that rely on them to efficiently and more effectively perform their tasks.”
Cameron Murphy ALP
“I contribute to debate on the Crime and Criminal Procedure Legislation Amendment Bill 2023. I start by reiterating the important matters raised by the Hon. Bob Nanva.”
Mark Buttigieg ALP
“Susan Carter, Ms Abigail Boyd, Ms Sue Higginson, the Hon. Bob Nanva and the Hon. Cameron Murphy. Maintaining and updating the laws underpinning the New South Wales criminal justice system is critical to ensure the law appropriately meets the needs and expectations of the community. The bill makes a number of appropriate amendments to that end.”

Mr MICHAEL DALEY, Attorney General — 2023-10-18
The bill will introduce several amendments across legislation relating to crime and criminal procedure in New South Wales. The amendments will enhance legislation by providing clarity and updates to the law where needed, rectifying inconsistencies and supporting the operation of agencies across the criminal justice system. In particular, the amendments will support the operation of youth and adult correctional centres; improve and clarify existing protections for victims; add efficiency, clarity and consistency into criminal justice processes; and provide necessary updates to both the Drug Misuse and Trafficking Act 1985 and the Digital Evidence Access Order Scheme.
