Dr DUNCAN WEBB: Oh yeah, I know, you scoff at it, but it's actually quite a good thing. On this side of the House, we believe in human rights, and section 9 says that "Everyone has the right not to be subjected to torture … cruel, degrading, or disproportionately severe treatment". And you know what? Here's a few words you might find familiar: that the three strikes legislation will result in "disparities between offenders that are not rationally based" and it will result in "gross disproportionality in sentencing", and "I consider it to be in contravention of the Bill of Rights Act."—great Attorney-General Chris Finlayson's words on this Act when it passed in the House.
