"Homeless and disadvantaged people in the community will be able to pay off fines by doing charity work or treatment programs under a scheme to be officially launched by the NSW Attorney General John Hatzistergos.“For people who are homeless, mentally ill or chronically poor the accumulation of debt through unpaid fines can be a real impediment to getting their lives back together,” Mr Hatzistergos said."
