Commonwealth Consolidated Acts Commonwealth Consolidated Acts(1) Sections 16 and 19A to 19AZD (other than section 19AH) of the Crimes Act 1914 (the applied Crimes Act provisions ) apply to a service tribunal that imposes a punishment of imprisonment for a specific period on a convicted person as if:
(a) the service tribunal were a court exercising jurisdiction in or in relation to the Jervis Bay Territory; and
(b) the person were convicted in that Territory.
(1A) Despite the applied Crimes Act provisions, a service tribunal that imposes a punishment of imprisonment for a specific period (the sentence ) on a convicted person:
(a) must not make a recognizance release order in relation to the person; and
(b) may fix a non - parole period in respect of the sentence, even if:
(i) the sentence does not exceed 3 years; or
(ii) if 2 or more sentences are imposed--the sentences in the aggregate do not exceed 3 years.
(2) The fixing of a non - parole period by a service tribunal under the applied Crimes Act provisions, as modified by subsection (1A), is to be taken, for the purposes of this Act, to be an order fixing that non - parole period made by the service tribunal under this Part.
(3) In addition to the effect of the provisions of Division 5 of Part IB of the Crimes Act 1914 (as applied by subsection (1) and modified by subsection (1A)), those provisions have the same effect in relation to a non - parole period fixed by a service tribunal in respect of a sentence of, or sentences aggregating, 3 years or less as those provisions have in relation to a non - parole period fixed by a service tribunal in respect of a sentence of, or sentences aggregating, more than 3 years but less than 10 years.
