This law will restore the right to vote of those sentenced to less than three years, because of a very simple principle. At the time of an election, for somebody sentenced to less than three years, they will be out before the next election. It might be in a month, it might be in 18 months, but they will be out before the next election, and they must have a right to have a say on those running the country that they are about to be released free into. It's not an attack on victims, as some members have tried to argue. If they were really serious about victims, they would have done a way lot more than they actually did in Government. They would have had a Chief Victims Advisor that wasn't working two half-days a week, but working full time, as she now is. They'd start putting together a package of reform for victims, strengthening their voice in the system, of which they are a bystander at the moment.
