Statement on bail backflip from Leader of The Nationals
Wednesday 12 March 2025
For regional Victorians ravaged by rising crime, this bail backflip has come far too late.
Premier Jacinta Allan is backpedalling under public pressure, making a shift she doesn’t believe in.
The Premier introduced these laws and under her watch crime has spiralled out of control.
Labor’s scramble to fix the mess it created is more about propping up its political future than keeping regional Victorians safe.
Regional Victorians have been crying out for reform as criminals get away with a revolving door justice system.
Given Labor’s failures in the past, we will review any legislation very closely – we can’t trust them to get it right this time.
The Allan Labor Government can’t manage crime and regional Victorians are paying the price.
