Hon KRIS FAAFOI (Minister of Justice): Today, the Government announced we are delivering on our 2020 campaign commitment to repeal that law because it hasn't worked. It has created some manifestly disproportionate sentencing outcomes. And after the repeal, judges will continue to have tough sentencing tools for when they require them. Cabinet considered retrospectivity, but decided to protect victims having to go through a legal process if resentencing occurred. Based on available data, I'm advised that the average prior convictions of third-strikers is 74.3. Under our law change that is proposed, judges will continue to have serious tools to deal with serious offenders, and that discretion is for the judiciary. Prior convictions are already an aggravating factor under our sentencing practices, and this will continue to be the case.
