Ardern was asked today about Labor’s attempt to repeal the Three Strikes Act, which in its current form means that once an offender has had his third “strike” or sentenced for his third offense, the maximum sentence is passed. , unless it is considered unfair.
At the time, Justice Minister Andrew Little said NZ First did not want to see the repeal of Three Strikes as separate from a “broader program of criminal justice reform.”
“We already said that our policy has been consistent, we have never supported Three Strikes, so it is part of our policy to remove it,” Ardern said today.
“There are things that we could not make progress on in the last iteration of the government that, as the Labor Party, we would seek to progress.”
However, Ardern added that it was up to voters whether or not the leader of the First New Zealand, Winston Peters, would return to Parliament.
“I’ve never gotten into speculation about what might happen after elections with smaller parties,” he said, refusing to give a yes or no when asked.
