Hon SIMON BRIDGES (National—Tauranga): National opposes this repeal bill, the Three Strikes Legislation Repeal Bill. And I want to say to the member opposite, the Hon Kris Faafoi: at a time of record violence, at a time of record gun crime under the Labour Party, at a time when gangs are creating record havoc and misery around this country—more victimisation than we've ever seen in this country—is it really the time to go soft on crime? I doubt it. Now's not the time for Labour to go soft on crime, Kris Faafoi. You see, if everything was hunky-dory here and we had a situation where crime was going down, our prisons had empty rooms because the Government was doing such a good job in this area, well, that possibly would be an argument to say, "You know what, no we don't actually need to have this sort of law to deter. There's less violence, there's less gun crime, there's less gangs and so on.", but that's not the case. We've got certainly decade-high violent crime in this country, and now's not the time for Labour to go soft on crime.
