In their report on the bill, the committee noted that while compensation arising from the repeal of the three-strikes regime is precluded, the relevant provision should be more clearly worded to avoid interference with the New Zealand Bill of Rights Act. This is a necessary clarification. As we have seen in the short amount of time since the bill was drafted and introduced, the Supreme Court and Court of Appeal have found sentences imposed under the regime to be in breach of the New Zealand Bill of Rights Act. This Government does not and would never direct the judiciary in their consideration of how these breaches should be responded to, and the amended clause makes this clearer.
