PARLIAMENT has watered down the NSW government's tough mandatory sentencing laws to only target the most serious cases of "gross" violence.
Premier Barry O'Farrell wants to toughen laws so that mandatory sentences are handed down to people who commit serious violent offences while under the influence of alcohol or drugs.
But Labor believes the proposed laws are too harsh and could target people involved in minor scuffles.
Labor's amendment, which passed the upper house with the support of the Greens and the Shooters Party, seeks to change the government's measures so that just one offence, called "gross violence", will attract a minimum sentence.
Despite calling the amendments "entirely unworkable", coalition MPs voted in favour of the amended bill, which now goes to the lower house for debate.
The Greens were the only party to vote against the amended bill, after earlier voting for Labor's amendments.
