An amended Administration of Justice (Indictable Offences) Amendment Bill 2025, concerning Justices of the Peace, was passed in the Senate yesterday, with Attorney General John Jeremie promising to pursue legislative reform for better standards of behaviour on the part of JPs.
The bill was passed with 24 votes from the Government and all Independent senators. The six Opposition Senators voted against it.
Jeremie, piloting the bill, said it sought to “remedy” issues concerning search warrants and granting of bail for indictable matters since the 2023 amendment of the Administration of Justice bill removed JPs from this.
