Three Strikes Legislation Repeal Act 2022

The Three Strikes Legislation Repeal Act 2022 was an omnibus Act of Parliament passed by the New Zealand Parliament that repealed the elements of the Sentencing and Parole Reform Act 2010, which constituted the so-called three-strikes law. The bill passed its third reading on 9 August 2022 with the support of the governing Labour Party, the allied Green Party, the Māori Party but was opposed by the opposition National and ACT parties. The following year the Sixth National Government took power and pledged to reinstate the three strikes law. On 13 December 2024, the Government passed legislation reinstating three-strikes legislation in New Zealand, effectively reversing the 2022 repeal legislation.
