I want to acknowledge my colleagues who have done all the work on this bill: the Hon Simon Bridges, Simeon Brown, and the Hon Nick Smith, who sit on the Justice Committee. Around mandatory sentencing, we actually feel that there is a place for that at times, but the reason why we compromised on this—and we had a lot of discussion on this side of the House. It went back to the caucus. The reason why we made a compromise around mandatory sentencing is because we were committed and trying to do the best that we could in passing a bill that we think sends a very positive message from this, our House of Representatives, back to our corrections officers, our first responders, our nurses and emergency department (ED) staff, in saying that we recognise and we support you. Because the Labour Party and the members of the committee took a very strong stance against mandatory sentencing, we felt that if we moved on that, we made a compromise, and instead we put forward and made some changes around cumulative sentences, then, actually, it would take away the barrier, it would take away the argument from them around why they couldn't support the bill, and they'd come in behind the bill.
