ACT extends Three Strikes to burglary with mandatory three-year sentence on third conviction

ACT deputy leader Nicole McKee announced a Three Strikes regime for burglary, requiring a mandatory three-year prison sentence with no parole for a third conviction. The policy extends the framework the government reinstated in late 2024—previously targeting violent and sexual offences—to a property crime. Any change requires Cabinet and Parliamentary approval, making this a coalition position rather than confirmed policy.
