Danny O’Brien
Leader of The Nationals
SAFER streets and stronger laws – it’s time to turn the page on the crime crisis in Victoria.
That’s why The Nationals have announced a new $100 million Safer Communities Plan.
Our new policy builds on our “Break Bail, Face Jail” policy which ensures consequences for repeat offenders.
The Safer Communities Plan includes:
· Jack’s Law for Victoria – giving police the power to remove weapons from our streets.
· Restart – a Victorian-first residential responsibility and discipline program for serious and repeat offenders.
· Youthstart – co-ordinated community-based interventions to help at-risk young people make better choices.
This commonsense approach combines consequences for offenders, but is also about giving young people the support, discipline and hope they need to turn their lives around.
Every Victorian deserves to feel safe – at home, at work, at the shops and on our streets.
Labor can’t manage crime and regional Victorians are paying the price.
