Jacqui FelgateHOST
We have hit the news.
Jacqui FelgateHOST
We'll come back to this issue with the opposition police spokesperson, Brad Battin.
Jacqui FelgateHOST
Your views, 133693.
Jacqui FelgateHOST
Cautions instead of...

It
Jacqui FelgateHOST
is seven minutes past four.
Jacqui FelgateHOST
A little later in the program, we'll be speaking to Brad Battin from the opposition just about what they plan to do about the cautioning of youth offenders.
Jacqui FelgateHOST
So now we know cautions are the way we're getting the crime stats down.
Jacqui FelgateHOST
And in fact, throughout the program, I've received multiple messages from regular police officers that I speak to who say, not only do we have to caution them now, but we're driving them back to their parents' house after committing a crime at that level.
Jacqui FelgateHOST
So 133693, what's your reaction to that? On the line now is Shadow Police Minister Brad Battin.
Jacqui FelgateHOST
Hello.
Brad BattinGUEST
G'day, Jackie.
Brad BattinGUEST
And I think that's because we've allowed too much change in legislation.
Brad BattinGUEST
It's got too weak on crime and we need to make sure that we readjust that.
Jacqui FelgateHOST
Brad Battin is the shadow police minister.
Jacqui FelgateHOST
I thank you for your time.
Sharri MarksonHOST
And we're learning the perpetrator, Brendan Nugent, who has now been charged, was known to police.
Sharri MarksonHOST
And joining me now is Victorian Shadow Minister for Police, Brad Battin.
Sharri MarksonHOST
Brad, welcome.
Sharri MarksonHOST
In your view, is there anything that could have been done to prevent this attack on Helen Haynes?
Peter KokotisGUEST
All posted at the game.
Peter KokotisGUEST
Brad Battin announced at the game, the opposition sports minister, "Melbourne will be the home of football if we're elected, and Melbourne will get that third license, and it will be South." Steve Dimopoulos posted, "A-League needs promotion.
Peter KokotisGUEST
Should it be South?" Um, the Lord Mayor announced before the match, "S- South Melbourne needs to be admitted," and these were articles in the Herald Sun, "in the A-League." So there was a political storm happening.
Jerome KhalafHOST
[laughs]
Willem van DenderenHOST
Well, tell us about your discussions with state governments on either side of politics and how this night, Saturday, kicks on into many more nights of, of substance for your club and for Australian football.
Bill PapastergiadisGUEST
Um, so we, we, we had with us at a pre-game function the, um, Minister of Sport, Steve Dimopoulos, the opposition minister, um, Brad Battin, uh, the opposition sports minister, Matthew Guy, the Lord Mayor, quite a few members of government, um, Champ Leoni and Nina Taylor.
Bill PapastergiadisGUEST
It was interesting to see Steve Dimopoulos post that it's time for promotion relegation, and should South Melbourne Hellas be promoted.
Bill PapastergiadisGUEST
And then it was heartening to hear Brad Battin say that Victoria and Melbourne should be the home of football in this country, and that the third license should stay here.
Bill PapastergiadisGUEST
It was also heartening to hear the Lord Mayor again reiterate his earlier statement about the fact that, um, South Melbourne should be accepted into the A-League.
Bill PapastergiadisGUEST
We certainly have local government and government support.
Ross StevensonHOST
Front page of the Herald Sun today, Victoria's rank and file cops have been effectively been told to go easy on child offenders.
Ross StevensonHOST
Brad Battin is the Shadow Minister for Police and Corrections.
Ross StevensonHOST
Brad, good morning to you.
Ross StevensonHOST
How will police react to being told to go easy?
Brad BattinGUEST
The government's the problem with it, and if they didn't close those prisons, we'd have plenty of beds, so we could actually remand offenders and keep them off the street.
Ross StevensonHOST
Good on you, Brad.

So just tell us about the coalition's plan on how you plan to, to clean up the place when it comes to crime.
Jamie RogersHOST
I know Brad Battin is out there promoting it really well, but just tell us, what are you guys gonna do?
Nicole WernerGUEST
Absolutely, and I think, you know, it's, it's something that is such a core issue this election, and we know that every s- 50 seconds a crime is committed here in Victoria.
Nicole WernerGUEST
We have all-time high crime in our state, and that's why we've got a comprehensive plan for community safety, and that's talking about, um, a, a variety of things that we have brought out already with more to come.
