In addition to the issues identified by the Federation, the Clinic has three key concerns with the proposed legislation. The addition of home detention as a sentencing disposition would establish a differential and discriminatory sentencing regime on the basis of housing status. Clearly, a person would have to be ‘housed’ if he or she was to be sentenced to home detention. Home detention would not be available to the homeless. Under the proposal, following sentencing, the rich would go ‘home’ while the poor would go to gaol. If home detention is introduced as a sentencing option, the Clinic considers that it is fundamental that any house in which an offender is to be detained constitutes ‘safe and secure housing’ within the meaning of section 4 of the Supported Accommodation Assistance Act 1994 (Cth). It is both inappropriate and a breach of article 11 of the International Covenant on Economic, Social and Cultural Rights that a person be detained in inadequate housing, such as a crisis shelter, a domestic violence refuge or even a boarding house. Given the short-term nature of transitional accommodation, it is also inappropriate that a person be detained in transitional housing. It is imperative that no public or low-cost housing be set aside for home detention. The level of affordable housing stock in Victoria is already inadequate (with public housing queues of up to 13 years in some cases) and resources should be directed to addressing this shortage before setting aside public housing stock for home detention purposes. A person’s ability to access adequate housing should not be contingent upon him or her being processed by the criminal justice system. I look forward to hearing from you in relation to these concerns.
