So as my colleague and friend the Hon Paul Goldsmith has noted, the disproportionality—which is the objectionable element within the New Zealand Bill of Rights Act, according to those who would have three strikes repealed. As to proportionality, actually that's a feature not a bug of that legislation. The distorting effect, as those across the House have described it, is intended by Parliament, because the evidence is clear that those who commit some crimes—sadly, there's a large recidivist element, and three strikes is actually poorly named to the extent that oftentimes there are many dozens of offences. Indeed, on average that's the case; that many dozens of offences have been racked up by offenders who are facing what is formally their third strike in the sense of being qualifying offences. There's much damage that is done to communities when any kind of offending takes place, and so if we're going to talk in this House about distorting effects, then we should acknowledge the hugely distorting effects on communities, victims, and their families of violent crime.
