In the matter of the Corrections Act 1997
and
In the matter of an Application for Parole by Phillip Lloyd Littlejohn
24 June 2005
You were sentenced to imprisonment on a number of charges of aggravated armed robbery, dishonesty matters and perverting the course of justice. You were granted parole on the 14th November 2003 and then committed further offences of robbery so your parole was revoked.
We have considered your application for parole and considered all the factors as set out in the Corrections Act, and we are going to grant you parole.
As I said we have considered all the factors contained in the Corrections Act. The first is whether or not you are likely to be rehabilitated back into the community. We think that you likely to be rehabilitated back into the community given the fact that you now have a stable home which to reside at; you have a supporting partner; and that you have the good opportunity of obtaining employment as a maintenance worker or painter. We also note that you have obtained cooking skills having been the head cook at Hayes Prison and I the Launceston Remand.
You in the past have had problems with gambling particularly associated with horses and dogs. You now have had treatment for that and you seem to have overcome those problems. Of course those problems would also be now helped by the fact that you now have a stable family to live with. You are also receiving counselling from a psychiatrist. You have successfully completely s42 releases without any incidents.
One of the other question we’re obliged to consider is whether or not you’re likely to be a danger to the public. We consider given the factors that I have just mentioned that you are not likely to be a danger to the public particularly if you do not associate with your past associates which is unlikely now that you have a home to live in in the south of the state.
You will be released on parole on the 12th July, 2005
