Hon MARK MITCHELL: Thank you, Mr Speaker. The reality of it is, with the three-strikes legislation, that when we debated this in the House at the committee stage, there were three times—three times—I got to my feet and I asked the Minister the same two questions. And she didn't respond and she didn't answer, because it was asking for evidence around—there have been several reasons why that have been put up to the House by varying Ministers, in terms of why we're having to repeal the three-strikes legislation at a time in our country when we're experiencing the worst levels of violent crime that I certainly remember in my lifetime, highlighted, I think, by a report in the Herald today that there was a young lady on the streets here in Wellington who was surrounded by patched gang members on bikes that kicked her mirror off and, in her words, terrified her. I don't know about the rest of the members in this House, but I don't want to live in a country like that, where a young lady is driving her vehicle through the streets of Wellington and is surrounded by patched gang members that feel they can start punching and kicking her car and ripping the rear vision mirror off, causing her to be terrified. That is not the country that we need to live in, and unfortunately, at a time when we need tougher penalties and we need stronger and more consequences, the priority of this Government was to come into this House and repeal the three-strikes legislation, which actually removes tougher penalties.
