Liberal leader Sussan Ley blamed Victoria’s crime surge on federal inaction, sparking backlash from Premier Jacinta Allan.
Liberal leader Sussan Ley drew criticism for highlighting Victoria’s 15.7% rise in crime since mid-2024—driven by thefts, home invasions, and youth offenses—during a Melbourne visit with opposition figures, urging federal action and hosting a child safety roundtable.
Premier Jacinta Allan dismissed the move as political opportunism, likening it to past federal Liberal rhetoric and accusing Ley of promoting an anti-Victorian narrative.
Ley’s comparison of current crime to 1920s Melbourne sparked backlash, with the premier calling it misleading.
The debate intensified amid high-profile incidents, including synagogues’ arson attacks and a fatal machete attack, as political tensions grow ahead of the 2026 state election.
