If a person to whom a parole order relates is sentenced to life imprisonment or to a sentence of, or sentences aggregating, more than 3 months in respect of a federal, State or Territory offence (the new offence ) committed during the parole period, the court that sentences the person for the new offence must determine the time (the revocation time ) when the parole order is taken to have been revoked.

(2)    
If a person to whom a licence relates is sentenced to life imprisonment or to a sentence of, or sentences aggregating, more than 3 months in respect of a federal, State or Territory offence (the new offence ) committed during the licence period, the court that sentences the person for the new offence must determine the time (the revocation time ) when the licence is taken to have been revoked.

(3)    
A revocation time determined under subsection (1) or (2) must be one of the following times:


(a) the time at which the court determines the new offence was committed;


(b) the time at which the court determines the new offence was most likely to have been committed;

Time person liable to serve

If the parole order or licence relating to a person is taken to have been revoked under subsection (1) or (2), the person becomes liable to serve:


(a) that part of the sentence or of each sentence for a federal offence that the person had not served at the time of his or her release under that order or licence; or


(b) if the court considers it appropriate taking into account the good behaviour of the person during the period (the clean street period ) starting at the time the person was released under that order or licence and ending at the revocation time - the sentence or aggregate sentence that would be imposed under paragraph (a) reduced by the period that is the same as the clean street period.
