I refer to the High Risk Serious Offenders Board (HRSO), established under s 14 of the
High Risk Serious Offenders Act 2020
, which has the knowledge development, facilitation and co-ordination functions set out in s 15 of the Act. Under s 17 of the Act, it may comprise any number of community members, which the Minister may appoint if they have any one or more of the attributes set out in s 18 of the Act. Two of those attributes are: (a) a knowledge and understanding of Aboriginal culture local to this State; (b) a knowledge and understanding of risk assessment and management frameworks that are appropriate for Aboriginal people. I also refer to the answer given to question without notice 909, and I ask:
(a) what relationship, if any, does the HRSO Board have to the High Risk Serious Offenders Review Committee (HRSORC);
(b) what criteria does the HRSORC consider when making a referral to the State Solicitor's Office; and
(c) is there a person on the HRSORC which has one of the following two attributes:
(i) a knowledge and understanding of Aboriginal culture local to this State;
(ii) a knowledge and understanding of risk assessment and management frameworks that are appropriate for Aboriginal people; and
(iii) how many distinct individuals fall under the categories or (i) or (ii), and what are their names?
