Three Strikes is not 25 years

The Dom Post reports:

The three-strikes legislation and stripping prisoners of the right to vote breach and could result in being hauled before agencies, a watchdog says. …

The three-strikes means a 25-year non- sentence for the worst criminals after their third serious offence.

No it doesn't. It means the maximum sentence for the offence without parole. This may be as little as seven years.
