Retail barring orders
543. Mr Liam Staltari to
the Attorney General:
I refer to retail
barring orders that have worked successfully in other jurisdictions to reduce
violence and aggression against retail workers.
(1) Is the Attorney General aware of the success
of the retail barring orders in the ACT, which have seen a 99% drop in
offending against employees by repeat offenders in Woolworths stores?
(2) Will the state government be introducing into
Parliament this week legislation to ensure that it is passed this year?
(3) If not, why not?
