Hon KRIS FAAFOI (Minister of Justice): No. The three-strikes legislation is not an effective response to gang membership or violent crime; rather, it has resulted in unjustified and excessive prison sentences and made no impact on reducing strikeable offences. That is why we are repealing the three-strikes legislation. The number of violent crime charges has reduced since that member was in Government, and the overall crime harm experience by victims from all violent crime has not changed significantly since 2013.
