GOD SAVE THE QUEEN! EXPLANATORY NOTE
The object of this Proclamation is to commence all amendments to the Prisons Act 1952 contained in the Statute Law (Miscellaneous Provisions) Act 1994 except the amendment set out in item (3) (b).
Certain of the amendments commenced are consequential on the renaming of the
Prisons Medical Service as the Corrections Health Service and also ensure that medical
officers exercising functions under the Prisons Act 1952 are subject to appropriate1994—No. 281
control and direction. Other amendments are consequential on the change in the status of the Removal of Prisoners (Australian Capital Territory) Act 1968 of the Commonwealth from a law of the Commonwealth to a law of the Australian Capital Territory (now cited as the Removal of Prisoners Act 1968 of that Territory) and the enactment of the Prisoners (Interstate Transfer) Act 1993 of that Territory.
Items (3) (a) and (b) of the amendments to the Prisons Act 1952 were in the alternative. Both deal with the power of certain court officials to make orders requiring the attendance of prisoners at court. Item (3) (b) was to be commenced only if an amendment proposed to be made to the provision affected (section 44 (3) of the Prisons Act 1952) by the Victims Compensation (Amendment) Bill 1994 (which is presently before Parliament) had been enacted before the commencement of the amendments to the Prisons Act 1952 made by the Statute Law (Miscellaneous Provisions) Act 1994. As this has not occurred, item (3) (b) is inoperative and will be repealed.
