As we have heard, this bill clarifies in the Act that "retrospective application explicitly includes those persons who committed a qualifying offence before, but who were convicted and sentenced after, the Act came into force." Essentially, the amendments in this bill ensure the safety of our children, our tamariki, and their families and whānau by making sure offenders who have previously been convicted of such damning acts are included on the Child Sex Offender Register, as these amendments will now include those that were previously convicted before the Acts came into effect. This bill goes some way to ensuring peace of mind for the offenders, the victims, and their families that those who have been convicted of these crimes remain on a register so that our authorities are able to continue to monitor these offenders, thereby knowing their movements and ultimately ensuring our victims, the whānau, and our community are far less likely to see these offenders reoffend while we are monitoring them.
