Victoria’s Premier Jacinta Allan has ordered a review of the state’s bail laws, amid an ongoing crime wave. Allan has asked Attorney-General Sonya Kilkenny and Police Minister Anthony Carbines to review the existing bail laws, which were strengthened just six months ago. Allan says that while these reforms are already making a difference, it is clear that more needs to be done to address community safety. Shadow police minister David Southwick says Victoria has become a lawless state due to the government’s lack of leadership on the issue of crime.
