mandatory sentencing (2 Viewers)

[2003HSC]

is this still used in NT and WA? There was a senate bill in 1999 that would invalidate all mandatory sentencing laws but i dont know if it was passed or not?

to the best of my knowledge mandatory sentencing still stands

Apparently it still stands in WA in regards to property offences of adults, but mandatory sentencing laws in NT no longer apply.
Well, according to Excel

I would use google to check up on iy. Im pretty sure there are still some instances of mandatory sentencing in both NT & WA, but Im certainly not 100% so Id check up on it.

is it 3 days for first offence and 1 year for third?
