Driving whilst disqualified – A case for change – Julian R Murphy and Hugo Moodie

This article highlights the authors’ concern at the approach of Northern Territory courts to sentencing for the offence of driving whilst disqualified. Particular concern is expressed at the impact on Indigenous Territorians. It is posited that this approach rests on an unstable precedential foundation, lacks cogent justification in sentencing principles and is an inefficacious means of protecting the public and deterring offenders. It is suggested that judicial changes or legislative intervention would be beneficial.
