JOSEPH MOONEY (National—Southland): I rise on behalf of the National Party to speak on the Three Strikes Legislation Repeal Bill. As the House will be aware, the National Party opposes this piece of legislation. "The policy implemented by the Bill is … [repealing] … the elements of the Sentencing and Parole Reform Act 2010 that collectively create what is [commonly] known as the three strikes law. … The Government's objectives in repealing the law are to remove the mandatory sentencing requirements that result in"—what they say is—"excessive and disproportionate sentence outcomes by preventing Judges from taking the individual circumstances of the offender and the offending into account. … Repealing the three strikes law"—they say—"will revert the sentencing process for strike offences to standard sentencing practices by allowing the Judge to reach an appropriate outcome on a case-by-case basis.", and that the "Bill expressly excludes any entitlement to compensation relating to the impacts of the three strikes law, and [there are] no transitional arrangements for those currently serving sentences of imprisonment for a strike offence".
