Senators Debate Criminal Records Rehabilitation of Offenders (Amendment) Bill(APRIL 16TH, 2026)
The Criminal Records Rehabilitation of Offenders (Amendment) Bill sparked debate in the Senate, with opposition members calling it contradictory. Senator Shelton Daniel clarified that it does not affect court outcomes or alter sentences.
Instead, it supports individuals who have already served their time, paid their fines, or received pardons, but still face the burden of a criminal record.
