Keeping the public safe is one of the most fundamental obligations of any government.
This week we took another step to ensure the worst repeat serious violent offenders stay in prison for longer. The Sentencing and Parole Reform Bill passed its second reading in Parliament, and should be in force by the end of the year.
The bill will deny parole to repeat serious violent offenders and those who are guilty of the worst murders. It will impose maximum jail terms for those who continue to commit serious crime. This bill is specifically focused on those offenders who show no regard for victims, their families or the community, and who are repeatedly convicted for serious violent and sexual crimes.
