When kids brag about being addicted to stabbing people and walk free within hours, Victoria has a serious problem. No wonder people don’t feel safe. Jacinta Allan must explain why violent offenders are being bailed straight back onto our streets. #springst

Statement from Brad Battin MP and me on new Victoria Police operations. Strong, proactive policing saves lives and protects communities. The Labor Government must give the police the powers and resources to make this happen. Read our statement 👇 #Springst

After more than two agonising years, all remaining living hostages are finally home. We will never forget those who didn’t make it back. May their memories be a blessing. Let this be a moment for unity and peace. 🎗️ 🎗️🎗️ Jewish News #springst

We're calling on Jacinta Allan to do the right thing. Fix this loophole and ensure every member of Victoria Police is treated with the respect, protection and support they deserve. Here is Brad Battin MP and my statement 👇 #Soringst

Welcome to Victoria, where stabbings happen in broad daylight and offenders walk free. Labor’s broken bail laws are putting lives at risk. #springst #crimecrisis

More disturbing protests in what’s become the hate capital of the nation. The Premier promised tougher protest laws. So where are they? Jacinta Allan’s failure to act is fuelling division and hate. Victoria Police have had enough and so have all Victorians. #Springst

Victorians deserve to feel safe. Labor’s so-called ‘toughest bail laws’ are failing. People armed with knives and machetes are back on our streets while police warnings are ignored. Violent offenders should not be walking free. Community safety must come first. #SpringSt

Yesterday I wrote to the Premier urging her to put politics aside and back a ban on face masks at protests. The Premier promised this nearly 12 months ago and we’ve seen nothing. The time to unmask the gutless cowards who hijack our city is now. #springst

Once again, the Premier’s ‘tough on crime’ talk is nothing but spin. Last year she promised to ban face coverings at protests. Today she backflipped and voted against it. How can Victorians trust anything this Premier says? #springst

Question Time, Quote of the Day: Attorney-General on rising youth crime: “We are looking for consequences.” Hope she finds them! No wonder Victoria’s in a crime crisis. #springst

18 months ago the Premier promised to protect retail workers. Retail crime is out of control. Workers feel unsafe. Victoria makes up 40% of Australia’s violent crime and Labor’s done nothing. #Springst

Welcome to Melbourne! An Israeli woman was told to “leave Melbourne” after applying for a job. Disgraceful. This is vile, cowardly discrimination and likely illegal. This person must be investigated and prosecuted. #Springst Herald Sun

Toothless': Allan government's backflip on protester mask ban. People deserve to feel safe on the streets. If you are marching in a balaclava screaming hateful abuse, you should be unmasked and held to account, not protected by loopholes. #springst

The devil’s in the detail. Jacinta Allan’s announcement is a weak copy of QLD’s. 33 violent offences in QLD, just 5 in VIC. After a decade of soft laws and youth crime spiralling, you can’t trust the government that broke the system to fix it.

OL Brad Battin says the fact the gov hasn’t even drafted the legislation for “Adult time for violent crime” highlights “the absolute shit this government feeds the community.”

Labor’s at it again – spinning headlines before doing the work. Today they announced laws they haven’t even written. The arrogance of this Government knows no bounds.

This government is so hopeless that they’ve announced a policy that’s nothing more than a headline. The posters are printed “Violent crime, adult time” but Labor still hasn’t written the laws. Brad Battin MP #springst

Labor won’t fix the crime crisis they created. Only our policies such as Break Bail, Face Jail, Jack’s Law, and our $100 Million Safer Communities plan will actually lower crime in Victoria. Because we’re about solutions, not spin. David Southwick MP James Newbury MP

Labor’s so-called “adult crime” laws are full of holes, just like their excuses. Violent crime needs real consequences, not slogans. Now Jacinta Allan is claiming home invasions and carjackings are ‘new’ crimes. Give me a break. Victorians deserve action, not spin. #springst

This really is a shit show. Labor claims there’s suddenly ‘new crime’ in Victoria. The truth is the crime crisis has been building for a decade. You can’t trust the people who created the problem to fix it. #springst
