I refer to the Minister's response to Question On Notice No.1832 of Tuesday 18 February which provided a table detailing, for each of the years 2008 to 2013, the number of receptions for fine default only, and ask: (a) for each of the years detailed (2008 to 2013) what was the total number of days of incarceration for fine default alone (for example, in 2008 there were 194 receptions for fine default alone – please add the total number of days of sentence for each reception together and provide a single total number of days of incarceration for fine default in the year 2008); (b) using the same methodology as part (a), what was the total number of days of incarceration of Aboriginal offenders for fine default alone for each of the years detailed (2008 to 2013); and (c) using the same methodology as part (a), what was the total number of days of incarceration of female offenders for fine default alone for each of the years detailed (2008 to 2013)?
