We heard during the select committee process that an offender who is sentenced to prison, on average, will have committed 24 offences—24 offences. People convicted of sentences of up to three years aren't convicted of petty crime. We're talking about people who have committed serious assaults, people who have committed robberies, and people who have committed family violence and sexual offences. These are not light-hearted, petty crimes which have been committed; these are serious crimes, and on this side of the House, we believe that there are consequences for one's actions and that when someone commits crimes worthy of being sentenced to prison, some of their rights are taken away. In New Zealand, when you go to prison, you lose some of your rights, and one of those rights is your right to be able to vote.
