46 Court not to set non-parole period for sentence of 6 months or less

(1) A court may not set a non-parole period for a sentence of imprisonment if the term of the sentence is 6 months or less.

(2) For the avoidance of doubt, subsection (1) does not apply to a court imposing an aggregate sentence of imprisonment in respect of 2 or more offences for a term exceeding 6 months. This subsection has effect even if the sentence that would have been imposed for any of those offences would have been 6 months or less (as referred to in section 53A (2) (b)).
