We agree with JustSpeak, who wrote in their submission that three strikes focuses "on punishment, not justice". It is remarkable how three strikes directly breaches the separation of powers that Westminster systems like us would normally uphold: that while we as Parliament make the laws, we leave it to the courts to interpret and apply them in individual cases—in other words, to use their discretion based on their years of education, knowledge, and experience. A shout-out to all the lawyers in the House who have been in this position, who know exactly how this works and how they have been constrained by this law.
