COUNSEL: A D Scott for the applicant

SOLICITORS: GR Cooper Crown Solicitor for the applicant
Legal Aid Queensland for the respondent
The current application
[1] The respondent has been subject to Division 3 Orders pursuant to the Dangerous
Prisoners (Sexual Offenders) Act 2003 (Qld) (the Act) since 6 May 2004 when his period
of imprisonment ended. In September 2006 he was released into the community on a
supervision order subject to a number of conditions. Condition (xvi) of his supervision
order requires that he “abstain from the use of illicit drugs for the duration of this order”.
The respondent has breached that condition on seven occasions since 2007 and on each
occasion he was returned to custody pending the hearing of the contravention
proceedings. He was ultimately released again on a supervision order on each occasion.
[2] The applicant alleges that the Respondent once again contravened condition (xvi) in
September 2016 by using drugs.
[3] On 29 September 2016 at a hearing before Justice Martin the contravention hearing was
adjourned to a date to be fixed and Mr Francis was detained in custody until the final
decision of the Court under s 22 of the Act.
[4] This is therefore the final hearing of the Attorney-General’s most recent application
which was filed on 29 September 2016. The application under s 22 of the Act seeks orders
that the Respondent’s supervision order be rescinded and he be subject to a continuing
detention order or alternatively that the Respondent be released on the existing
supervision order but with amended conditions.
[5] Two psychiatrists have been appointed to provide Risk Assessment Reports under the
Act. Dr Donald Grant’s report is dated 6 November 2016 and Dr Andrew Aboud’s report
is dated 24 February 2017.
[6] The issue in this application is whether Mr Francis has once again shown, on the balance
of probabilities, that the adequate protection of the community can be ensured by the
existing order, as amended under subsection (7) of s 22(2) of the Act. Section 22 is in the
following terms:
“22 Court may make further order
(1) The following subsections apply if the court is satisfied, on the balance
of probabilities, that the released prisoner is likely to contravene, is
contravening, or has contravened, a requirement of the supervision
order or interim supervision order (each the existing order).
-- 2 of 13 --
3
(2) Unless the released prisoner satisfies the court, on the balance of
probabilities, that the adequate protection of the community can, despite
the contravention or likely contravention of the existing order, be
ensured by the existing order as amended under subsection (7), the court
must—
(a) if the existing order is a supervision order, rescind it and make a
continuing detention order; or
(b) if the existing order is an interim supervision order, rescind it and
make an order that the released prisoner be detained in custody
for the period stated in the order.
(3) For the purpose of deciding whether to make a continuing detention
order as mentioned in subsection (2)(a), the court may do any or all of
the following—
(a) act on any evidence before it or that was before the court when
the existing order was made;
(b) make any order necessary to enable evidence of a kind mentioned
in section 13(4) to be brought before it, including, for example,
an order—
(i) in the nature of a risk assessment order, subject to the
restriction under section 8(2); or
(ii) for the revision of a report about the released prisoner
produced under section 8A;
(c) consider any further report or revised report in the nature of a
report of a type mentioned in section 8A.
(4) To remove any doubt, it is declared that the court need not make an
order in the nature of a risk assessment order if the court is satisfied that
the evidence otherwise available under subsection (3) is sufficient to
make a decision under subsection (2)(a).
(5) If the court makes an order in the nature of a risk assessment order, the
psychiatrist or each psychiatrist examining the released prisoner must
prepare a report about the released prisoner and, for that purpose,
section 11 applies.
(6) For applying section 11 to the preparation of the report—
(a) section 11(2) applies with the necessary changes; and
(b) section 11(3) only applies to the extent that a report or
information mentioned in the subsection has not previously been
given to the psychiatrist.
(7) If the released prisoner satisfies the court, on the balance of
probabilities, that the adequate protection of the community can, despite
the contravention or likely contravention of the existing order, be
ensured by a supervision order or interim supervision order, the court—
-- 3 of 13 --
4
(a) must amend the existing order to include all of the requirements
under section 16(1) if the order does not already include all of
those requirements; and
(b) may otherwise amend the existing order in a way the court
considers appropriate—
(i) to ensure adequate protection of the community; or
(ii) for the prisoner’s rehabilitation or care or treatment.
(8) The existing order may not be amended under subsection (7)(b) so as to
remove any requirements mentioned in section 16(1).”
The Respondent’s history of offending
[7] The history of the respondent’s offending was outlined by Byrne SJA in R J Welford, A-
G for the State of Qld v Francis:1
“[10] The respondent was born in May 1973. He committed many offences
as a juvenile. By the age of 21, he had an extensive criminal history; it
included imprisonment for stealing. At 22, he was sentenced to 18 months
imprisonment for several offences, including stealing and assault occasioning
bodily harm. While serving that sentence, he was brutally assaulted by a gang
of other prisoners. He reported being sodomised in the attack. Afterwards, the
nature of his offending changed.
[11] In 1996, the respondent committed the serious offences for which he was
sentenced in 1999. Violent, sexual assaults were involved: among them, the
insertion of a knife handle into the victim’s vagina and a broom handle into
her anus. The respondent also bit her ferociously, punched her, dragged her
by the hair, and committed other degrading acts of physical abuse. The
offences were committed over eight occasions.
[12] By March 1997, the respondent was living in New South Wales with
another woman. She also suffered sexual violence at his hands. In March
1998, the New South Wales sentencing judge spoke of incidents over about
two days involving brutal, sexual misconduct, accompanied by irrational
allegations concerning the sexual behaviour of his victim. After a year in
prison, he was extradited to Queensland to be dealt with for the 1996
offences.”
[8] I note that the Respondent has a long history of polysubstance abuse and both sets of
offences involved violence within ongoing heterosexual relationships in which both the
Respondent and the victims were drug users.2
The Respondent’s contravention history under the Act
[9] The applicant’s submissions in support of the current application contain a convenient
summary of the Respondent’s history which indicates that he was released on 26
1 [2004] QSC 233 at paragraphs [10]-[12].

September 2006 on a supervision order which required he abstain from drugs. On 2, 8
and 12 March 2007 he tested positive for methylamphetamine and was returned to
custody on 27 March 2007 but released on supervision again on 7 November 2007.
[10] On 18 and 21 March 2008 the Respondent tested positive for cannabis. Then on 30
October 2008 whilst subject to supervised released pending the final hearing in relation
to the 18 and 21 March 2008 test results, the Respondent tested positive for amphetamines
and methamphetamines. The Respondent was returned to supervision on 28 September
2009.
[11] On 3 June 2010 the Respondent tested positive for amphetamine, methamphetamine, and
cannabis. That contravention was dealt with by Justice Mullins who ordered the
Respondent’s return to supervision on 9 December 2010. On 11 August 2011 he
contravened again by testing positive of methylamphetamine. He was again returned to
supervision by Byrne SJA on 13 September 2012 when the supervision order was
extended by a further five years.
[12] On 18 April 2013 he contravened again by returning a sample positive for
methamphetamine and was returned to supervision again on 11 November 2013 by
Justice Margaret Wilson.3 A further contravention involving use of synthetic cannabis
was dealt with by Justice Jackson on 30 March 2015.
[13] The current supervision order expires on 13 September 2017 and the applicant argues that
the evidence indicates that the Respondent is likely to remain an unacceptable risk to the
community after the order’s expiry in September 2017. The evidence raises the possibility
that the duration of the supervision order should be extended by at least five years4 and
the applicant relies on Bickle v Attorney-General (Qld)5to argue that whilst the duration
of a supervision order cannot be shortened it may be extended upon the finding of a
contravention.
The current contravention
[14] The circumstances of the current contravention are summarised by Dr Donald Grant in
his Report dated 6 November 2016 and the summary is as follows:6
“On 27 September 2016 Mr Francis was contacted by QCS for the purpose of
submitting to a urinalysis test. The first two attempts to contact him were
without success (he did not answer). QCS then sent the respondent an SMS
directing him to attend the Caboolture Probation and Parole District Office at
10.00 am for a urinalysis test.
Mr Francis responded to this SMS by telephoning QCS. He said he was
driving at the time of the call and stated that he was already on his way to the
city for a psychological appointment and was therefore unable to attend the
Caboolture office. When asked what time his appointment was he advised
that it was 4pm that day. He was then directed to turn around and head back
to Caboolture District Office or alternatively attend the Wacol Reporting

Centre. In response to this order Mr Francis swore, raised his voice and made
excuses such as the fact that QCS was costing him a lot of extra petrol money
and that he was due to report on 28 September 2016 at the Caboolture District
Office. Ultimately he agreed to attend the Caboolture office by 10.30 am.
On 27 September 2016 Mr Francis submitted a urinalysis testing in
accordance with condition (xxvi) of his Supervision Order, namely “submit
to alcohol and drug testing as directed by a Corrective Services Officer, the
expense of which is to be met by the Department of Corrective Services”. At
the time of the testing Mr Francis denied any illicit substance use and reported
only the use of prescription medication, namely Lyrica and Tramadol.
The urine sample returned positive result to methamphetamines and a faint
reading to amphetamine. The testing officer conducted a second test
producing the same result. The sample was then sent to the laboratory for
confirmatory testing.”
[15] Counsel for the Respondent concedes that the Respondent contravened a requirement of
the supervision order to abstain from illicit drugs.
[16] Accordingly I am satisfied on the evidence before me that the Respondent has breached
condition (xvi) of his current Supervision Order.
[17] Has the respondent satisfied the onus on him pursuant to s 22(7) of the Act of satisfying
the Court on the balance of probabilities that the adequate protection of the community
can, despite the contravention, be ensured by the existing order as amended? In this regard
I shall consider the report of the two psychiatrists who have been appointed under the Act
to assess the Respondent’s risk of re-offending.
Dr Grant’s report
[18] In his report Dr Grant notes that the Respondent has a “severe Antisocial Personality
Disorder and also satisfies criteria for Psychopathic Personality Disorder.”7 Dr Grant
opines8 “there is insufficient evidence to make a definite diagnosis of Sexual Sadism or
any other sexual paraphilia. However, his original offending 20 years ago showed
evidence of sadistic, violent sexual assaultive behaviour and it is possible that there
remains an element of potential sexual sadistic behaviour…he certainly has quite a deep-
seated distrust of women and a tendency to become jealous and controlling in
relationships. These attitudinal issues, combined with substance abuse and intoxication,
were relevant to his original offending and have been relevant to the instability of more
recent relationships. Those attitudinal issues plus difficulties in controlling his anger
towards women remain of significance in terms of future risk assessment.”
[19] Dr Grant continued:9
“The most important risk scenario in Mr Francis’ case remains the possibility
of violence occurring against a female partner in the context of relationship
instability and distrust and jealously combined with drug abuse, particularly
7 Dr Grant’s report, p 17.
8 Ibid.
9 Dr Grant’s report, pp 18-20.

7
the abuse of amphetamines and/or LSD. The sexual offending would then be
motivated by rage, jealously and a degree of paranoia. The potential victim
could suffer significant psychological harm and physical harm, and such
physical harm could be serious if these scenarios were to develop.
Warning signs of any future offending would therefore be a recurrence of
ongoing drug abuse, particularly in the presence of relationship difficulties.
The risk for sexual violence would be mostly present in these scenarios rather
than any more non-specific scenarios involving women in the community.
……
Mr Francis has now breached his Supervision Order on eight occasions by the
use of illicit drugs. He has in the past undergone some drug and alcohol
treatments, but his attitudes and beliefs surrounding drug abuse and violence
seem to show a marked lack of real insight. He recognizes that others believe
that drugs such as amphetamines significantly raise the risk of sexual violence
to women, but he disputes that this is the case. Nevertheless, he does accept
that such intoxication was relevant to his serious index sexual offending.
Despite having some glimmers of understanding between the relationship of
offending and drug abuse, he expresses attitudes about future substance abuse
which would indicate an intention to continue using at least mild to moderate
levels in the future if he is not on a Supervision Order.
The Supervision Order under which Mr Francis has been in the community
over a number of years has served to identify drug abuse early on, such that
it is not led, as far as we know, to significant issues in terms of offending.
However, given the evident instability of his relationships with women and
his negative attitudes, the risk remains that if he were to resume regular use
of amphetamines that would significantly raise the risk of sexual violence.
Mr Francis has now been on a Supervision Order for a long time and his Order
is due to expire in September 2017. As he is ageing it is possible that his
psychopathic personality traits are settling to some extent, with somewhat less
overt aggression, but any settling appears to be only in its early stages. He
remains quite quick tempered and readily resorts to verbal threats and verbal
aggression against women. These personality traits render him vulnerable to
the disinhibiting effects of substances such as amphetamines.
In my opinion, the current risk for future sexual violence remains at least
moderate when Mr Francis is sober but would increase to high in the presence
of regular recurring substance abuse and severe relationship instability. The
risk has been modified by the long term application of his Supervision Order,
which has mandated abstinence from alcohol and drugs and has served to
detect drug abuse very early on. The continued application of a Supervision
Order would in my opinion continue to have that modifying effect, reducing
risk, but by no means obliterating risk. The progress and events in
relationships over the last two years has not been very encouraging in terms
of the risk lessening with time.
In terms of whether the supervision order should be extended beyond
September 2017 it is difficult to see that the risk will be any less at the end of
that period than it is currently. Mr Francis’ attitudes towards substance abuse
-- 7 of 13 --
8
are also not encouraging. His attitude towards his Supervision Order has
always been somewhat adversarial and it remains so.
Taking these considerations into account, it is my opinion that if Mr Francis
is to be released in the community, a Supervision Order remains necessary to
contain the risk for sexual re-offending. That risk is likely to continue beyond
September 2017 and that would indicate that the Supervision Order ought to
be extended for a further five years. An alternative path would be to be try to
assist Mr Francis to address his substance abuse issues more thoroughly and
to detain him in custody to undergo the Pathways Substance Abuse course,
this being an intensive course that is available only in custody. He is likely
to be resistant and un cooperative with such a treatment programme and may
render such a course unhelpful. On the other hand, if he does not alter his
attitude to substances and recognize more fully the effect that substance abuse
has on his risk of sexual violence it is difficult to see the level of risk being
reduced substantially in the near future. The only hope would be that his
Psychopathic Personality Disorder factors ameliorate more thoroughly over
the next 5-10 years, reducing the risk of sexual offending.”
[20] At the hearing Dr Grant gave evidence in relation to this aspect of his report and indicated
that the Respondent’s attitude to drugs has not changed and he is unrepentant in relation
to this issue. Dr Grant considered therefore that the Respondent would be unlikely to
embrace the Pathways Substance Abuse Course and noted that he had previously been
evicted from a sex offender programme due to his attitude to the course. Dr Grant
considered that given his history of breaches by the use of drugs, the Respondent is likely
to breach again in the future and at the time of the breach hearing his risk of reoffending
can be further examined at any contravention proceeding.
Dr Aboud’s report
[21] Dr Aboud concluded that after taking into consideration the various actuarial and dynamic
assessments of future violence and sexual violence risk that have been applied, he
considers that the Respondent’s overall risk “would currently be high in respect of sexual
violence”.10
[22] Dr Aboud has diagnosed the Respondent with a mixed personality disorder, with
prominent antisocial traits and borderline traits. He considers that the former explains the
Respondent’s anti-authoritarian disposition, wide ranging criminal offending and
tendency to breach rules and orders. He considers that the latter explains the Respondent’s
somewhat fragile emotional state at times. Dr Aboud also notes what he considers to be
his “clear cut psychopathic traits”11 which complicates the clinical picture as it infers high
long term risk and treatment intractability.
[23] Dr Aboud also noted that the Respondent’s offending occurred in the context of alcohol
and substance abuse and that he met the criteria for alcohol dependence and polysubstance
dependence. He also considered that he has underlying sadistic tendencies and that his
“obsessive fixations and tendencies…possibly tipped over into psychosis at the time of
10 Dr Aboud’s report, p 13.
11 Ibid, at p 11.
-- 8 of 13 --
9
the [index] offences” 12. He considers that the Respondent’s risk is high but that it is
manageable under a supervision order.
[24] Significantly Dr Aboud considers that the Respondent is unlikely to benefit from further
treatment in custody.13
[25] Dr Aboud considers that the supervision order should be extended for a further five years.
Conclusion
[26] I am satisfied that the Respondent continues to satisfy the criteria in the Act that he is a
person who represents a serious danger to the community in the absence of a Division 3
Order.
[27] I am also satisfied that the Respondent has satisfied the onus on him of satisfying the
Court that, despite the contravention, the evidence indicates that the adequate protection
of the community can be ensured pursuant to a supervision order.
[28] Both of the psychiatrists appointed under the Act to provide risk assessments are of the
view that the community will not be adequately protected if, however, the supervision
order is not extended beyond its current expiry date of September 2017.
[29] I am satisfied therefore that if the Respondent is to be released on the supervision order
it will be necessary to extend its duration. Based on the opinions of Dr Grant and Dr
Aboud I am satisfied that a further period of at least five years is necessary.
[30] I note that Dr Grant considered an alternative course was to detain the Respondent on a
continuing detention order so that he could undergo necessary treatment to enable him to
“alter his attitude to substances and recognise more fully the effect that substance abuse
has on his sexual violence”. The aim of such a course would be to increase the prospects
of the Respondent having a sufficiently reduced level of risk to enable him to live in the
community without supervision at some time in the future.
[31] However in my view the evidence indicates that the Respondent’s attitudes are such that
he is likely to be resistant and uncooperative with such a programme, with a result that it
would not only be unsuccessful but also unhelpful. There is also clear evidence that the
adequate protection of the community can be ensured under a supervision order as there
has not in fact been any sexual reoffending in the last 11 years since the Respondent’s
release on supervision. Furthermore each breach of his supervision order by the use of
drugs has resulted in his continuing detention until the contravention hearing has been
held and the Court has determined whether the Respondent has fulfilled the onus on him
of satisfying the Court that, despite the contravention, the adequate protection of the
community can be ensured by a supervision order.
[32] There should be an order in terms of the Draft, as set out in Schedule 1 attached to these
reasons. For the purposes of clarity the current supervision order is set out in Schedule
2.
