Australian Greens The Victorian Greens will introduce a bill to Parliament next week that would reduce the number of First Nations people held in custody in Victoria. The Bail Amendment (Reducing Pre-trial Imprisonment of Women, Aboriginal, and Vulnerable Persons) Bill 2020 would simplify the state’s strict bail laws, creating a system that grants offenders bail unless they pose an unacceptable risk to the community. In 2017 and 2018 the Andrews Government tightened our bail laws significantly, so that bail was denied to many people accused of minor offences. This decision was made after a hasty review and has led to countless disadvantaged people being locked up for minor offences before they are sentenced.
