The message is clear – Labor’s spending spree is putting Australia`s economy at risk.

A woman stabbed on her way to work in the heart of Melbourne. The alleged attacker was out on bail.
This is what happens when Labor governments go soft on crime. Weak bail laws. Lack of mandatory sentences. Offenders walking the streets when they should be behind bars.
Jacinta Allan and Anthony Albanese need to explain why the community is being left to fend for themselves. We need strong government in Melbourne and in Canberra, not excuses.
The Coalition will act. When it comes to Commonwealth offences, we will legislate mandatory sentences to deter offenders because we know it works. But Premier Allan has to do her part too.
Victorians deserve to feel safe walking to work. Anything less is failure.

Bruce and Denise Morcombe and the @danielmorcombefoundation have spent decades fighting for child safety and justice.
When they say the system isn’t working, Australians should listen.
Right now, offenders who produce or share child abuse material can serve as little as six months behind bars — even after repeated acts of abuse.
That is a moral failure. The punishment must fit the crime.
The Coalition is calling for mandatory minimum sentences for these offences because serious crimes deserve serious consequences.

New figures show an additional 34,000 Australians became unemployed, taking the number of additional unemployed Australians since Labor came to office to 130,000.

Youth crime in Victoria is getting worse, yet Labor is cutting funding to the very programs that help prevent it.
Centres like the St Kilda PCYC keep teenagers off the streets and give them a second chance, but they are struggling to stay open.
If Labor were serious about community safety, they would back the organisations breaking the cycle, not abandon them.

Labor has locked in a decade of deficits because it can`t control its spending.

81 years ago today, Robert Menzies wrote in his diary: “New party: ‘The Liberal Party of Australia’”.
We have governed Australia for almost two thirds of the post-war era, delivering prosperity and security while focusing on our national interest.
We will continue to stand up for all Australians.

81 years ago today, Australians came together around an idea that hard work should be rewarded, that freedom matters, and that government should serve people, not rule over them.
Those beliefs built modern Australia and gave generations the confidence to build something better for their families.
Today, the Liberal Party stands for those same enduring principles. We back Australians who want to build, create, and contribute. We believe in responsibility, fairness, and opportunity for all.
What began on this day in 1944 changed the course of our nation. The Liberal Party was founded to serve all Australians, and that mission under my leadership continues today.

We met with child protection leaders today to talk about our plan for mandatory minimum sentences for child abuse offences.
Right now, offenders who produce or share child abuse material can serve as little as six months behind bars, even after repeated acts of abuse.
That is a moral failure. Australians expect justice that fits the crime.
The Coalition is calling for mandatory minimum sentences for those who produce or share child abuse material.
Serious crimes demand serious consequences.

Crime in Victoria is now at its highest level in 20 years under Labor.
More than 1,000 young repeat offenders are being re-bailed to steal cars, invade homes, and reoffend again and again.
Gangs are treating Victoria as their safe haven, with illicit tobacco now more lucrative than cocaine.
Police morale has collapsed, good officers are leaving, and communities are left to fend for themselves.
It’s clear the system is broken. We need to back the police, toughen our laws, and restore community safety and only a federal and state Liberal Government will do that.

Young people deserve more than a life on the streets or a run-in with the courts.
That is why centres like the St Kilda PCYC are so important. They give teenagers a second chance, a safe place to belong, and the guidance to build a better future.
But right now, they are doing it tough. Funding has dropped, programs have been cut, and demand for support has never been higher. At the same time, youth crime in Victoria is climbing and police are stretched to the limit.
If we are serious about safer communities, the answer is not just tougher laws. We need to invest in prevention, back our police, and support the organisations breaking the cycle every single day.

Jim Chalmers and Anthony Albanese aren’t on the same page.

Labor’s economic mismanagement makes life more difficult for everyday Australians.

Every Australian deserves to feel safe in their community.
But with crime at a 20-year high in Victoria and repeat offenders walking free, that safety is slipping away.
We need to back our police, toughen our laws, and protect families and communities from harm.
Because when you work hard, play by the rules, and do the right thing, you deserve a government that backs you in.

Threatening to burn down Parliament House is dangerous and unacceptable.
Australians deserve to feel safe in their workplace, including everyone who serves in our national Parliament.
I have written to the Presiding Officers calling for an urgent investigation into Senator Thorpe’s comments and the implications for security.
There must be accountability for rhetoric that risks encouraging political violence.

Anthony Albanese wasted 18 months and $450 million of taxpayer money on his risky, unknown and divisive Voice proposal.
