38 Exception—offender in government custody
This division does not apply to a registrable offender in relation to
a year if the offender is in government custody at the end of the
relevant time for the offender’s report in that year.
J first reported his personal details to the chief police officer on 14 October 2005.
However, J is in government custody from 1 October 2006 to 1 November 2006.
Because of this section, J does not have to report his details on or before
31 October 2006. However, when J leaves custody, he will have to report any
change to his personal details (see s 56).
