Hon ANDREW LITTLE: Even though we have appeal rights and safeguards against unsafe convictions in this country, from time to time our justice system, frankly, gets things wrong. The design of the CCRC is based on international best practice and is an important safety valve against wrongful convictions. Anyone who believes they've been wrongfully convicted or sentenced can now apply to the CCRC for a review of the case. The commission honours also a significant commitment in the 2017 Labour - New Zealand First coalition agreement, and it was very pleasing to see colleagues—in particular, the honourable Fletcher Tabuteau—at the event yesterday.
