Now, let me break that down for my colleagues across the House. The translation out of academic speak is "meh". Got that? Or, in other words, "It's a waste of time." It's not just a waste of time, though; it's actually causing problems. It is causing us money keeping prisoners in. It is preventing us putting them through rehabilitation, because until you're eligible for parole, you can't get rehabilitation. And it's increasing court time because, as every good defence lawyer knows, if the sentence is high, the defendant is likely to contest it. At the same time, it is indiscriminate. It prevents judges from taking into account mental illness. It prevents them from correctly weighing simple things like where your strike three is; for example—and these are real examples—a pinch on the bum. Excuse my language, Madam Speaker, or possibly a kiss. These things do not merit the full weight of the sentence. Judges at the same time can still deal with the worst offenders just as they always have. I dislike knee-jerk reactions. I dislike simple, vindictive sugar hits. I came here to make a real difference, and for that reason, I commend this bill to the House.
