Finally voice and concerns of community are heard. The Andrews Labor Government will today introduce legislation to create tough new offences for carjacking and home invasion to give police the laws they need to keep the community safe.
The new show cause provisions will apply regardless of the age of the offender.
The Bail Act 1977 will also be amended to include a presumption against bail for aggravated carjacking, home invasion and aggravated home invasion. This means the accused will need to justify why they should not be remanded.
The new offence of carjacking will carry a maximum penalty of 15 years and those convicted of aggravated carjacking face a maximum penalty of 25 years.
A statutory minimum non-parole period of three years will also apply to aggravated carjacking.
Home invasion will have a maximum penalty of 25 years and aggravated home invasion will attract a statutory minimum non-parole period of three years.
