Analysis: Three Strikes law change

From Morning Report, 8:22 am on 22 October 2024

The Prime Minister is defending government's latest assault on crime - toughening its new Three Strikes law by lowering the First Strike warning to those who've committed offences that can get them 12 or more months in prison. The current threshold is 24 months. And people with first strikes wiped under by the previous labour government will have them reinstated. Our political Jo Moir spoke to Ingrid Hipkiss.
