Finally, I acknowledge that this bill is likely to inspire debate in the House and in public about the way we approach criminal justice and how we treat offenders. I want to reiterate that when the three-strikes law is repealed, judges will have the same range of sentencing options at their disposal. New Zealand's most serious offenders will continue to receive appropriate sentences of imprisonment and will only be released on parole subject to the oversight of the parole board—when they no longer pose any undue risk to the public.
