Victoria Crime Capital? Senator Jane Says ‘Welcome to Reality’
In today's episode of 'Federals Can't Stay Out of Your Business,' Victorian Liberal senator Jane Hume dropped a truth bomb on ABC Radio National, agreeing that Melbourne is Australia's 'crime capital' — because apparently, every Victorian already has their crime Yelp reviews ready. Jane solemnly reminded us that Sussan Ley and the shadow ministry are cooking up a policy stew, despite it being just five months since the last election (plenty of time to fix crime if you think Tuesdays matter). Bonus: Hume insists federal gov't can help with 'consistent bail laws' because what Victoria really needs is a national bail Pinterest board.

Jane Hume explains Melbourne's crime issues like she's spilling tea at a Victorian book club: 'Yes, it's bad. Yes, everyone knows. Now can we please agree on a bail law or two before next Tuesday?'
Victorians hearing 'crime capital' from a federal Lib senator like it's fresh news, when it’s basically their version of the weather report you ignore.
Five months post-election, and Sussan Ley’s team still cooking policies on crime like a slow-cooked budget BBQ nobody RSVP’d to.
