Victorians have been abandoned by a soft-on-crime government - not enough police on the beat, weak bail laws and too many repeat offenders cycling through the system.

Last night a Warragul convenience store became another statistic.

Every day 735 people become victims of crime.

There are currently 506 fewer full-time Victoria Police officers than when Jacinta Allan became Premier, and 1,500 vacancies on Victoria Police rosters.

41 Victoria Police stations remain closed or operating on reduced counter hours.

We back our regional police officers as they work extremely hard for our communities but they need support and additional numbers to improve community safety and deter crooks and criminal activity.

We will deliver 3,000 additional police over 4 years.

Only the Nationals & Liberals in Government will ensure arsonists and firebombers face Adult Crime, Adult Time and ensure that community safety is put first.

Albo has launched an attack on those angry about the lies in his budget, claiming they are driven by “self-interest”. Nothing has rattled our esteemed PM as much as the rise of One Nation. Over the weekend, he wasn’t just lashing out at us, but at the voters as well!
