35 Suspension and extension (1) This section applies to a reportable offender unless he or she is a person to whom Division 9 applies or is exempted by an order under Division 6 (or an equivalent order of a foreign jurisdiction) from reporting. (2) An obligation imposed on a reportable offender by this Part is suspended for any period during which he or she: (a) is in government custody, whether in the Territory or elsewhere; or (b) is outside the Territory (unless the obligation arises under section 21). (3) The period for which a reportable offender's reporting obligations continue is extended by any length of time for which those obligations are suspended under subsection (2)(a). (4) If a prohibition order is made in respect of a reportable offender whose reporting obligations would (apart from this subsection) expire during the period for which the reportable offender is the subject of the prohibition order, the reportable offender must comply with the reporting obligations until the expiry of the prohibition order. (5) If a prohibition order is made in respect of a reportable offender whose reporting obligations have expired: (a) the reportable offender is taken, for this Part (but not for section 37), to have been sentenced for a reportable offence; and (b) the reportable offender must comply with the reporting obligations imposed by this Part until the expiry of the prohibition order.
