ANN LYONS J:
History of the application
[1] This is an application by the Attorney-General pursuant to s 27 of the Dangerous
Prisoners (Sexual Offenders) Act 2004 (“the Act”) for an annual review of a continuing
detention order with respect to the respondent, Geoffrey Doolan. The respondent is
currently 49 years of age and was born on 3 November 1965.
[2] On 29 April 2011, the respondent pleaded guilty and was convicted and sentenced to three
years imprisonment in relation to three counts of indecent treatment of children under 16
years of age. His full time release date was 5 May 2013.
[3] On 3 May 2013, Applegarth J ordered that he be detained in custody, pursuant to s
13(5)(a) of the Act.1
[4] Section 27 requires that the hearing of the first annual review must be completed within
2 years after the day the order first had effect.
The Order of 3 May 2013
[5] Applegarth J was satisfied that the respondent was a serious danger to the community in
the absence of a continuing detention order and that he should not be released into the
community subject to a supervision order at that point in time. His Honour was satisfied
there was a high probability that a supervision order requiring the respondent to abstain
1 Attorney-General for the State of Queensland v Doolan [2013] QSC 115, [106].
-- 2 of 14 --
3
from alcohol would not be complied with and that there was an unacceptable risk that the
respondent would reoffend soon after becoming intoxicated. His Honour noted however:
“Those circumstances may change if the respondent completes appropriate
programs, gains insights into his behaviour, develops realistic plans to prevent
a relapse into alcohol abuse and sexual offending and has the support to
successfully implement those plans.”2
[6] In his decision, his Honour noted that the sexual offences committed by the respondent
were not at the higher end of the spectrum, but there was a need to protect members of
the community from such offences. His Honour was satisfied that a supervision order, if
complied with, would lower the risk of harm and the kind of harm was less serious than
in many other cases of serious sexual offences.
[7] It was also noted that the respondent’s submissions in that application made reference to
the psychiatric evidence that a supervision order which required abstinence from alcohol,
treatment and support would reduce the risk of future sexual offences from high to
moderate-low provided the supervision order was complied with. His Honour was
concerned that the critical issue was whether the supervision order was likely to be
complied with and, if not, whether there was an unacceptable risk of the respondent’s
reoffending before his contravention is detected.
[8] In the circumstances that prevailed in 2013, the court was satisfied that if the respondent
was to be released into the community subject to a supervision order, he was likely to
abuse alcohol. It was noted that whilst it might be hoped that such consumption and
contravention would be quickly detected before the respondent committed a sexual
offence of the kind for which he was currently in custody, it was noted that his chronic
alcoholism, his lack of insight into the causes of his offences, its consequence to the
victim and his persistent past offending created a significant risk that he would become
intoxicated and reoffend before his contravention could be detected. It was evident that
the resumption of alcohol abuse would create a risk to the public.
[9] His Honour considered that a continuing detention order should be made, principally so
that the respondent could “receive treatment with a view to his rehabilitation”.3
Criminal history
[10] The respondent has a criminal history which dates back to 1983. That history includes
entries for over 200 offences, including breaking and entering, stealing and breaking and
entering dwelling houses with intent; 48 charges that range from common assault to
aggravated assault, as well as assaulting police officer, resisting police, obstructing police
and one count of stalking. There are then 40 charges which relate to vagrancy, damage to
property, public nuisance, as well as alcohol and drug convictions and multiple breaches
of bail conditions. On 29 April 2011, he was convicted of the index offences. The victims
were two brothers who had gone to the male toilets. Both boys were under 16. One was
grabbed on the genital area, including pressure being applied to his testicle and the
respondent exposed his testicles to the child and prevented him from leaving the toilet
area. The respondent continued to touch his genitals and he rubbed his genitals on the
door of the toilet.

Progress in custody
[11] On 10 December 2012, the STATIC 99R assessed him as a high risk of sexual recidivism
compared to the normative sample. The respondent then completed the Getting Started:
Preparatory Program at the Townsville Correctional Centre on 25 September 2013. In the
Completion Report for that Program, the report noted that at that point in time he had
-- 4 of 14 --
5
demonstrated no insight into his sexual offending and accepted limited responsibility for
the offending and demonstrated limited general empathy and empathy for his victims. It
also noted he was unwilling to explore his sexual offending behaviour and had no
motivation to engage in intervention. The respondent suffered a stroke in July 2011.
[12] The respondent has been breached in custody on five occasions since 21 November 2012
for acting in an indecent or offensive way in another person’s presence, making a threat
to a supervisor, using abusive, indecent or offensive language, wilful destruction of
property, contravening a lawful direction, and assaulting another prisoner. That assault
involved throwing a cup of tea onto another prisoner who was vulnerable. The respondent
has an extensive violation history going back to 1983. His most serious offences were
committing grievous bodily harm in November 2005, assault in 2006, sexual assault in
2007, and another assault in 2008. He is noted to have an ongoing propensity to act
impulsively and he has a history of non-compliant, abusive and assaultive behaviour.
[13] He has completed a number of programs in custody, including the Transitions Program
in 2012, a Vocational Training Program in 2012, and a Turning Point Preparatory
Program in 2012.
[14] Since the order of Applegarth J of 3 May 2013, ordering that he be detained in custody
pursuant to s 13(5)(a) of the Act, he has participated in the sexual offending program for
indigenous males (“SOPIM”) at the Lotus Glen Correctional Centre. I also note that the
SOPIM completion report is dated 17 March 2015 and it records that between 20 January
2014 and 10 February 2015 the respondent completed 120 sessions which described
steady improvement as well as areas that required significant ongoing work. The report
indicates that not only was there steady improvement over time but that he engaged
consistently with participants and facilitators. It was also noted that there was increased
motivation and better management of mood and impulsivity. The report noted that when
his offences were discussed, he could explain why his actions were inappropriate.
[15] He has now been examined and assessed by two psychiatrists, Dr Josephine Sundin and
Dr Scott Harden, for the purpose of this annual review of the continuing detention order.
Both psychiatrists consider that the respondent has made significant gains as a result of
the SOPIM and that given those improvements he could now be managed in the
community pursuant to a supervision order if rigorous conditions were put in place.
Dr Harden’s report dated 15 April 2015
[16] Dr Harden indicated that the respondent was not interested in the interview and provided
minimal responses. It would seem that he refused to engage in the interview, telling Dr
Harden he had few sexual thoughts and denied masturbating in prison. Whilst he was
adamant with Dr Harden that he would stay off alcohol, Dr Harden noted his inability to
do so previously. He refused to discuss his disciplinary breaches. Dr Harden indicated
that the respondent stated he had a stroke in 2012 and the medical records indicated that
he had had a haemorrhage secondary to an artery aneurism rupture. He has had no visitors
or contact with family. He indicated a desire to go to a TAFE college and to become a
mechanic if possible. He understood that if he resumed drinking, he would be breaching
a supervision order and returned to custody.
[17] Dr Harden noted an unrealistic expectation in relation to his ability to resist alcohol in the
community. Dr Harden noted the respondent’s life was characterised by a lack of
-- 5 of 14 --
6
emotional connection to other people and severe alcohol abuse. He had a complete
disregard for the rights of other people and whilst his institutional behaviour was
reasonable, it was clear that he saw no difficulty in being threatening or difficult if that
suited his purpose.
[18] Dr Harden considered the respondent met the criteria for anti-social personality disorder
as well as meeting a diagnosis of alcohol abuse in remission.
[19] Dr Harden considered that the actuarial and his professional judgment measures indicated
that the respondent’s future risk of sexual offence was high. He also considered he was
an extremely high risk of sexual assault if returned to the community with no modifying
factors, the critical issue being alcohol abuse. If he was not intoxicated, he considered the
risk would drop from high to moderate. He considered, however, that it was very likely
that the respondent would immediately return to alcohol use on his release and that quite
soon he would approach young people in a public place and attempt to touch them
sexually. Dr Harden indicated that pattern had occurred so many times that it was very
unlikely that it would change without substantial external modifiers, such as those found
in a supervision order. He considered the highest risk would be if he were to be intoxicated
with alcohol in a situation where he could access young people, particularly in their early
to mid-teens.
Recommendations of Dr Harden
[20] Dr Harden considered that if the respondent was released from detention, he should be
monitored in the community by means of a supervision order. He noted his difficulties
are longstanding and would be unlikely to resolve quickly and any order should be in
place for five years. He recommended that he be required to be abstinent from alcohol
and drugs and undergo routine testing.
[21] Dr Harden also recommended that the respondent participate in ongoing individual
therapy for sex offenders and substance abuse treatment, and that individual therapy was
more likely to be successful if it focussed on those things that were in his interests. Dr
Harden considered that if the respondent were to breach the supervision order by using
alcohol, he should be re-incarcerated immediately. His view was that the respondent’s
long term prognosis was still poor, but there were grounds to cautiously trial some time
in the community under a high degree of supervision.
Dr Sundin’s report dated 20 April 2015
[22] Dr Sundin noted that the respondent had difficulty as a historian. She indicated, however,
that he was able to discuss the program he had done, namely the SOPIM and that he had
learnt a lot of things from it. In particular, not to touch women and to stay away from
alcohol and drugs and from friends who are using drugs. Dr Sundin notes that the
respondent now recognises that in order to stay out of jail, he knows he must not touch
women. He also advised Dr Sundin that he wanted to attend a men’s group in the
indigenous community and to attend alcohol and drug groups. When he discussed his
plans with Dr Sundin, he was able to elaborate in more detail what his plans were
particularly in relation to his placement in contingency housing at Townsville. He stated
that he had plans to live in Townsville and had lived there before. He also acknowledged
he had behaved in an intoxicated way in the Townsville Mall before and had been
-- 6 of 14 --
7
convicted of breaches at the Mall but he did not perceive that he would have any difficulty
spending his time in the Mall, indicating he would not do anything stupid.
[23] He also indicated that whilst he wanted to have a relationship with a girlfriend he was not
certain how he could do this, given his view that “you can’t trust women these days.
They’ll set you up for rape.” Dr Sundin indicated that the respondent was able to reflect
on his past sexual offences. He also described methods as to how he would cope if he had
increased sexual thoughts. He also indicated that he had developed some strategies during
his participation in the SOPIM course to assist with anger management, including the
stop,think and walk away strategies. Dr Sundin stated that he also indicated that he did
not wish to go to jail again and that in order to stay out of jail in future, he intended to be
compliant with directions. He also indicated that he had made a great effort to be
courteous in his behaviour towards corrections staff in 2015. He reiterated to Dr Sundin
that he wanted to do a TAFE course but that he would be in receipt of a Disability Support
Pension given he had injuries in his right shoulder and leg. He was also hopeful of
ultimately returning to Doomadgee where his sister’s children and grandchildren lived.
[24] Dr Sundin considered that the respondent had a solid if simplistic understanding of the
lessons he had learnt in the SOPIM course and had understood some of the management
strategies being taught to prevent him from acting impulsively. He also had an awareness
of the importance of abstinence from alcohol and appreciated that any breach would lead
to a return to prison. She noted, however, that he had a low frustration tolerance and
proclivity to impulsivity within prison.
[25] Dr Sundin considered the respondent’s primary difficulties related to his vulnerability to
consuming intoxicating substances and then acting on sexual preoccupations and whilst
he denied any preoccupation with pre-pubescent females, she considered he had an
ongoing preoccupation with women but appeared to learn that girls under 18 were taboo.
[26] Dr Sundin considered that her diagnosis with regard to the respondent was unchanged
from her previous report in 2012 where she considered that he met the DSM-4 criteria for
(a) alcohol abuse/dependence in sustained remission in prison; (b) cannabis abuse in
remission (c) mixed personality disorder with anti-social and avoidance traits; (d)
possible cognitive impairment secondary to past heavy alcohol abuse; and (e) paedophilia
non-exclusive type attracted to males and females.
[27] Dr Sundin considered that the respondent’s risk in 2012 was moderate to high for future
sexual recidivism and a high risk for future violent recidivism and a high risk for general
criminality. She considered, however, that the risk had improved in the areas of insight,
awareness of consequences and preparedness to comply with supervision.
[28] In 2012, Dr Sundin considered that the respondent represented a significant risk to the
community based on a persistent nature of his violent and sexual offending and a lengthy
and extensive history of alcohol abuse.
[29] In 2015, she considered those risk factors were the same but that on a clinical and risk
management scale the situation had improved. She considered that given his risk
assessment had improved in the areas of insight, awareness of consequences, and
preparedness to comply with supervision, the combined results of the STATIC 99R, and
the STABLE 2007 indicated that the respondent was a person who will be a high
supervision priority in the community.
-- 7 of 14 --

[30] Dr Sundin noted, however, that he had been subjected to a significant sanction when he
was not released from prison in 2012 and that that was a significant factor for him. He
also participated in the SOPIM and had an adequate exit report. Dr Sundin considers that
the combination of those two events appeared to have helped him begin to understand the
necessity for compliance with supervision requirements and the inappropriateness of his
previous behaviour. Dr Sundin considered that he appreciated that any breach of his
supervision order was likely to result in immediate action.
[31] Dr Sundin also noted that during his time in prison the respondent had had a prolonged
abstinence from alcohol which had benefited his cerebral and cognitive function and he
appeared to have improved his capacity to understand the need for abstinence outside of
prison. Dr Sundin also noted he had aged in prison which in itself provided a degree of
maturity and diminution of impulsivity. Dr Sundin considered the offences were
impulsive and associated with sexual preoccupation occurring when he was intoxicated
with alcohol. The report noted that there had been no abusive or threatening language
since 15 November 2014.
[32] Taken globally, Dr Sundin considered that the respondent represented an unmodified
moderate to high risk for sexually violent recidivism but the risks for recidivism could be
significantly moderated by a community supervision order and the requirement for
absolute abstinence from any mood altering substance, particularly alcohol, cannabis or
any cannabis like substance.
[33] Dr Sundin also indicated that an important part of the risk management would be a zero
tolerance for any breach of his conditions in relation to intoxicating substances.
[34] Dr Sundin also recommended that the respondent have a male case manager within the
community and that he readily have the consequences of non-compliance reiterated to
him. She also stated that linkage to indigenous community support would be helpful and
that any increase in anti-authoritarian attitudes or verbal aggression would need to be
responded to promptly.
Other evidence of management of risk in the community
[35] Cassandra Cowie, the Acting Manager of the High Risk Offender Management Unit
(“HROMU”), has provided an affidavit which states that HROMU is involved in
overseeing the supervision and surveillance of offenders on supervision orders. She
advised that contingency accommodation was available at Townsville to persons released
to supervision orders under the Act who have no suitable alternative accommodation at
the time of release. The accommodation is provided for an initial three month period and
is subject to review thereafter. When the respondent provides some future suitable
accommodation, Queensland Corrective Services (“QCS”) will conduct an assessment.
Ms Cowie indicated that there would be accommodation for the respondent at the
Townsville Precinct from 4 May 2015 and he would be expected to actively source long-
term accommodation whilst at that facility.
[36] Ms Cowie states that Dr Robert Walkley, psychologist, has been engaged by QCS to
provide treatment and psychological intervention to the respondent and his first session
is scheduled for Tuesday 12 May 2015. She stated that QCS also requires that treatment
is to be provided in consultation with QCS and in consideration of the psychiatric and
psychological reports currently available. She stated that QCS will also liaise with Dr
-- 8 of 14 --
9
Walkley regarding the nature and effectiveness of treatment and if the respondent is in
the community, referrals to other relevant service providers will be considered as
necessary. The frequency of treatment sessions depends on the respondent’s needs and
will be determined by Dr Walkley in consultation with QCS.
[37] Ms Cowie also indicated the respondent would be referred to the Townsville Indigenous
Mentoring Program which is run by an Aboriginal Elder who provides cultural support
to released offenders. As well as the one-on-one program, there is an Indigenous Men’s
Group which will allow the respondent to meet others and explore his cultural needs. He
will also be referred to the Alcohol Tobacco and Other Drugs Service (“ATODS”) in
Townsville which offers individual counselling, as well as substance abuse programs
aimed at assisting in abstinence from alcohol and substances. The respondent will also be
referred for assessment to participate in the Salvation Army Bridge Program, which is an
abstinence based program and offers one-on-one support group therapy and work therapy.
[38] Ms Cowie indicated that there was no evidence that the respondent had held any ongoing
hostility towards the victims and he was openly discussing his offending. He could
explain why his actions were inappropriate.
What orders should be made pursuant to s 30 of the Act?
[39] The power of the court to make orders upon review are set out in s 30 of the Act which
provides as follows:
“30 Review hearing
(1) This section applies if, on the hearing of a review under section 27 or
28 and having regard to the required matters, the court affirms a
decision that the prisoner is a serious danger to the community in the
absence of a division 3 order.
(2) On the hearing of the review, the court may affirm the decision only if
it is satisfied—
(a) by acceptable, cogent evidence; and
(b) to a high degree of probability;
that the evidence is of sufficient weight to affirm the decision.
(3) If the court affirms the decision, the court may order that the prisoner—
(a) continue to be subject to the continuing detention order; or
(b) be released from custody subject to a supervision order.
(4) In deciding whether to make an order under subsection (3)(a) or (b)—
(a) the paramount consideration is to be the need to ensure adequate
protection of the community; and
(b) the court must consider whether—
(i) adequate protection of the community can be reasonably
and practicably managed by a supervision order; and
-- 9 of 14 --
10
(ii) requirements under section 16 can be reasonably and
practicably managed by corrective services officers.
(5) If the court does not make the order under subsection (3)(a), the court
must rescind the continuing detention order.
(6) In this section—
required matters means all of the following—
(a) the matters mentioned in section 13(4);
(b) any report produced under section 28A.”
[40] The question is whether, having regard to the 'required matters', the court affirms the
decision that the prisoner is a serious danger to the community in the absence of a
Division 3 order: s 30(1) of the Act. The required matters are those matters set out in s
13(4) and any report furnished pursuant to s 28A of the Act (a report prepared by the
Attorney General under s 8A).
[41] The court must be satisfied pursuant to s 30(2) by acceptable cogent evidence to a high
degree of probability that the evidence is of sufficient weight to affirm the decision.
Counsel for the respondent concedes that the court would be satisfied that the respondent
is a serious danger to the community in the absence of a Division 3 order and that the
order of Applegarth J of 3 May 2013 should be affirmed in this respect.
[42] Having considered all of the matters I am required to take into account, pursuant to s
13(4) of the Act, I am satisfied that the decision of Applegarth of 3 May 2013 should be
affirmed.
[43] The real question before this court is whether the respondent should be subject to a
continuing detention order or be released from custody subject to a supervision order.
Section 34 of the Act provides that in deciding whether to make a continuing detention
order or a supervision order, the paramount consideration is the need to ensure the
adequate protection of the community, and the court is required to consider whether
adequate protection of the community can be reasonably and practicably managed by a
supervision order, and whether the requirements under s 16 can be reasonably and
practicably managed by Corrective Services. The requirements under s 16 relate to
reporting requirements and compliance. Counsel for the applicant now concedes that the
psychiatric evidence supports a finding that the adequate protection of the community can
reasonably and practicably be managed by Corrective Services under a supervision order
in the terms proposed in the draft. That submission is based on the reports of Dr Harden
and Dr Sundin who have both indicated that the respondent has made significant progress
during the treatment program.
[44] In all of the circumstances, having considered the reports of the two psychiatrists who
have been appointed and the other matters referred to in s 13(4) of the Act, which includes
the respondent’s pattern of offending and his efforts to address the causes of his offending
behaviour, including participating in rehabilitation programs, I am satisfied that the
evidence supports a finding that the adequate protection of the community can reasonably
and practicably be managed by the Supervision Order. However, there must be strict
adherence to the terms of the order, particularly in relation to alcohol and substance use.
-- 10 of 14 --
11
I note that it is proposed that he be released on Monday, 4 May 2015, to enable
arrangements to be made for him.
[45] I am satisfied that the conditions of the proposed Supervision Order which have been
provided to me will adequately address the protection of the community.
