00:00Well, those receiving what's called extended determinants sentences, so the most serious sentences implemented by the judiciary, they are not
00:08subject to this scheme at all.
00:10That's important. And despite the recommendation of the independent sentencing review, we carved those offenders out.
00:18But look, I'm not pretending that there aren't difficult decisions here, but I want to be very clear to your
00:21viewers.
00:22If we didn't make difficult decisions now, we would face a prison capacity crisis in October or November this year.
00:27And that would mean having to let out people in a much more chaotic fashion without the safeguards in place
00:32in our community.
