I would not want the members of the committee to be under any misapprehension about the current state of the law and what is proposed.
Under the current state of the law, any conviction at a summary trial would be, pursuant to the meaning of section 3 of the Criminal Records Act, a conviction under an act of the federal Parliament. So it would result in the creation of a record within the meaning of the Criminal Records Act.
The effect of what's proposed in clause 75 of the bill would be that in those instances where the circumstances were sufficiently minor that a person received a punishment under the thresholds set out in that act, you wouldn't actually acquire that record.
So just to make it absolutely clear: in current law you would get a record. If clause 75 were passed and it was an objectively minor circumstance with the punishment underneath the threshold, you would not.
