The alleged Darwin gunman was wearing an electronic monitoring bracelet as he shot and killed four people, according to the Northern Territory Police Commissioner.

The alleged shooter was on parole and the NT Government has ordered a review of every prisoner who is on bail in the territory, including those fitted with a GPS tracking device.NT Corrections confirmed more than 100 people were on parole in the Territory, and of those, 46 were being"actively monitored".

In a statement to the ABC, G4S said it had provided this service to the NT since 2014 and similar services to South Australia since 2000.Yes. According to Dr Marietta Martinovic, an expert in electronic monitoring at RMIT University who wore a device for her research. She said more than 90 per cent of people fitted with devices globally complied with the rules associated with it."People who are the most serious offenders, they actually seem to comply with wearing the technology the best; that is, they don't seem to engage in further offending."The devices may become ineffective in remote areas, or in a tunnel, or during an electronic outage.

Who sitting on the parole board?

that'll be the private sector doing things better than the government can

'Scandal and complaints haven’t stopped the government from working with for-profit companies.' -Joshua Jacobs

See, when the is privatised, it'll be great too😒 noplaceforsheep

In NSW it will soon be a Chinese government owned 'company'.

After a recent trip overseas where a private company has replaced government employees I can safely say it turns to a blame game of the government saying it’s all their fault their paid to do it

Privatisation! Hoorah!
