135 Release authorised by parole order
(1) A parole order for an offender authorises anyone having custody of
the offender for the offender’s sentence of imprisonment to release
the offender in accordance with the order.
(2) However, the parole order does not authorise the release of the
offender if the offender is required to be kept in custody in relation to
another offence against a territory law, or an offence against a law of
the Commonwealth, a State or another Territory.
(3) The offender must be released from imprisonment under the
offender’s sentence of imprisonment on the offender’s parole release
date.
(4) The offender may be released from the imprisonment at any time on
the parole release date.
(5) However, if the parole release date is not a working day at the place
of imprisonment, the offender may be released from the
imprisonment at any time during the last working day at that place
before the release date if the offender asks to be released on that day.
