Hon KIRITAPU ALLAN: First of all, to any victim of crime we would say that we want to ensure that they have all of the right support available to them. Secondly, with respect to three strikes, we heard from many victims through the select committee process about their experiences, of which many were absolutely horrific. The thing about the three-strikes law, however, is that this doesn't diminish the ability of any judicial officer to be able to provide the minimum or the maximum penalties, and it's restoring the discretion of the judicial officer to exercise their duties and functions. Just this year, we have seen the exercise of a judicial officer imposing the maximum penalty—life sentence without parole—for an individual that hasn't met the three-strikes threshold. We do not have any intention of providing any kind of retrospectivity when it comes to those that have suffered at the hands of crime and criminals, but we are reinstating the integrity of our judicial branch of Government so that they exercise their discretion within the bands of the Sentencing Act.
