87. Deputy Gary Gannon asked the Minister for Justice, Home Affairs and Migration given the Judicial Council noted in 2022 that 23% of community service assessments did not convert into community services orders (the main reasons for this being a lack of available work in the community in a given area or at a given time, or that the individual was unable to cooperate due to being in employment, childcare-related issues or their need to access mental health, health or addiction supports), whether his Department intends to put mechanisms in place to ensure that, should a person be given a community service order of, say, 300 hours, they can complete these in a manner that takes into account existing employment or childcare obligations, or that they may need to be in addiction counselling at a time that might coincide with the order.
