For these reasons, it is the Government's view that the discretion should be returned to the judiciary, who are best placed to respond appropriately to serious and repeat offending. When approaching the repeal, one of the Government's main concerns has been minimising any effect of the repeal on victims. We engaged with the Chief Victims Advisor during the development of the repeal legislation to ensure that any potential impacts were understood early and could be effectively managed. As a result, we developed the repeal legislation in a way that will not impact victims of strike offenders.
