As you can tell by the lack of paper in the Crimes (Robbery) Amendment Bill, it's not a large or overly complex bill. The bill's a very short and relatively minor amendment to the Crimes Act. But while small, it will make a big difference. In fact, the bill is just three words. Quite simply, the bill inserts the words "or unlawful taking" into section 234 of the Crimes Act. Currently, section 234 of the Crimes Act defines robbery as "theft accompanied by violence or threats of violence, to any person or property, used to extort the property stolen or to prevent or overcome resistance to its being stolen". The definition of theft in relation to robbery is important in the context of this bill.
