Staten die DNA ondertekenen die overeenkomst deelt

Australië is een stap dichter aan een nationaal DNA- gegevensbestand met Queensland, Westelijk Australië en de HANDELING ondertekenend de nationale informatie-delende overeenkomst.
Slechts moeten NSW en Victoria nog omhoog ondertekenen, en zij hebben beloofd dit te doen.
De federale Minister David Johnston van de Rechtvaardigheid zei aanpassingsde DNA- gegevensbestanden over jurisdicties onderzoekers veel grotere capaciteit zouden geven om overtreders te vangen die tusen staten hebben bewogen.
„Te lang zijn onze inspanningen om een nationaal DNA- gegevensbestand te bewerkstelligen gefrustreerd door wettelijke en operationele hindernissen. I am delighted that after seven years we have pushed past those obstacles,” he said in a statement.
Under the new arrangements, DNA profiles from state and territory databases will be uploaded and compared on a national database.
That will be managed by CrimTrac, the federal government-run organisation which coordinates national sharing of criminal information.
Senator Johnston said representatives of the Australian federal government, Queensland, ACT and Western Australia signed the DNA agreement at the Ministerial Council for Police and Emergency Management meeting in Wellington, New Zealand.
South Australia, the Northern Territory and Tasmania have already signed. NSW and Victoria have undertaken to follow suit as soon as required changes are made to their legislation.
“With full DNA matching across Australia, more and more DNA matching success stories should become commonplace,” Senator Johnston said.
“Recently a Northern Territory man who had a DNA sample taken from him in relation to a drink driving offence, pleaded guilty to a 1993 rape that he committed in Queensland, after his profile was matched through the national DNA database.”
“I urge those jurisdictions, who are not currently matching with other jurisdictions to start doing so as soon as possible. The Australian public deserve no less.”
