Crime

Matthew GUY (Bulleen) (09:38): While we are talking about the Premier of the day, why don’t we talk about crime, because I want to talk about crime. The bashing of a security guard in Bendigo shows that crime is out of control right across the state and particularly in the Premier’s electorate of Bendigo. She does not care about crime. This side of the house has tried multiple times to toughen our bail laws, to get sentencing under control and to make the government focus on making Victoria safe again, and all we have got is excuses from a hopeless and weak and petty government – a juvenile government, a government that does not accept that we need to get tough on crime. And if nothing else, we have got to change the government to fix this problem.
