For these transfers to work legally, each state must formally recognise the other states' prison transfer laws. This amendment simply updates Queensland's recognition list to include the ACT's newest relevant law, ensuring the interstate system keeps working smoothly."},"flash_summary_failed":{"failed":true,"reason":"Unauthenticated.
