Victoria under Daniel Andrews is now the undisputed crime capital of Australia.
Figures released today show that for the year 2016 crime rates in Victoria increased by 10.2% compared to NSW crime rates which increased by just 0.41%.
Leader of The Nationals and Member for Murray Plains Peter Walsh said that under two years of Daniel Andrews crime in Victoria is up 20.17% but in the same time frame in NSW crime is up only 5.8%.
“These figures are a damning indictment on Daniel Andrews and his soft touch on law and order “ Mr Walsh said.
The Liberal Nationals have announced that in government we will repeal Labor’s watering down of youth bail laws passed in 2016; we will establish a “˜one strike and you’re out’ rule for any Bail breaches as well as establishing a bail system that has the presumption of remand for violent offenders because bail is a privilege not a right.
Mr Walsh said that under the Liberal Nationals law and order will be a top priority for government in Victoria.
