Speaker 1: I was.

20
00:00:49,360 --> 00:00:51,800
Speaker 3: I tried to get more organized this year and do it,

21
00:00:52,040 --> 00:00:54,600
Speaker 3: did it early January. But still it's a bit of work,

22
00:00:54,880 --> 00:00:58,440
Speaker 3: you know, new uniform, school bags and kids. They just

23
00:00:58,520 --> 00:00:59,680

Speaker 1: And hey, good news for parents who have kids heading

Speaker 1: back to school. I saw the announcement that you throwing

26
00:01:06,440 --> 00:01:07,480
Speaker 1: a bit of coin their way.

27
00:01:07,760 --> 00:01:10,840
Speaker 3: Look, I think everyone knows about how tough it is

28
00:01:10,880 --> 00:01:13,720
Speaker 3: at the moment. Costs, living pressures really real for so

29
00:01:13,800 --> 00:01:16,280
Speaker 3: many and back to school costs they're one of the

30
00:01:16,280 --> 00:01:19,240
Speaker 3: big things. You know, it comes at Christmas time, New Years.

31
00:01:19,480 --> 00:01:23,319
Speaker 3: It's an expensive time. School shoes and books. Kids grow

32
00:01:24,040 --> 00:01:25,959
Speaker 3: little treasures, they grow, so you've got.

33
00:01:25,880 --> 00:01:28,800
Speaker 1: To make sure you treasures off the air.

34
00:01:30,720 --> 00:01:32,679
Speaker 4: And my mum bought me school dresses that lasted like

35
00:01:32,720 --> 00:01:34,640
Speaker 4: five years. They were just so big when I started,

36
00:01:34,640 --> 00:01:36,240
Speaker 4: and I slowly grew into the rifty.

37
00:01:36,360 --> 00:01:38,039
Speaker 1: At your school, did they do that thing where they

38
00:01:38,120 --> 00:01:40,319
Speaker 1: measure the length of the skirt to make sure.

39
00:01:40,280 --> 00:01:43,200
Speaker 4: Yeah we're in high in Yeah, like senior school. It

40
00:01:43,280 --> 00:01:45,399
Speaker 4: was supposed to go to the knee, but they didn't

41
00:01:45,440 --> 00:01:48,040
Speaker 4: measure it. But if it was too short, it's a problem.

42
00:01:48,080 --> 00:01:49,919
Speaker 4: But we used to roll it up to make it shorter.

43
00:01:52,920 --> 00:01:54,400
Speaker 1: Anyway, they were to the school bone.

44
00:01:55,560 --> 00:01:58,520
Speaker 3: And so in order to help to help families with

45
00:01:58,640 --> 00:02:01,800
Speaker 3: this expensive time of the year, we have rolled out

46
00:02:01,800 --> 00:02:05,600
Speaker 3: the school saving bonus four hundred dollars per student. It

47
00:02:05,600 --> 00:02:07,920
Speaker 3: doesn't matter primary school, high school, primary school, high school.

48
00:02:07,920 --> 00:02:10,200
Speaker 3: It's for government schools and for low fee paying non

49
00:02:10,280 --> 00:02:13,200
Speaker 3: government school So about seven hundred students across the state

50
00:02:13,360 --> 00:02:14,400
Speaker 3: eligible for it, and.

51
00:02:14,360 --> 00:02:16,200
Speaker 1: The parents can spend that at Danfi's or it's got

52
00:02:16,240 --> 00:02:17,359
Speaker 1: to be right. It's got a bit.

53
00:02:17,440 --> 00:02:19,840
Speaker 3: It's targeted to uniforms because that is one of the

54
00:02:19,880 --> 00:02:23,280
Speaker 3: big costs, and also camps and excursions because they're a

55
00:02:23,280 --> 00:02:26,280
Speaker 3: big part of it. And also we know a few

56
00:02:26,280 --> 00:02:29,120
Speaker 3: families that's one of the things that they don't do.

57
00:02:29,440 --> 00:02:32,160
Speaker 3: If they're feeling get kids will miss out and you

58
00:02:32,200 --> 00:02:34,320
Speaker 3: don't want your kids to miss out. So how did

59
00:02:34,320 --> 00:02:38,320
Speaker 3: they get there cash? So it's been administered through through

60
00:02:38,320 --> 00:02:40,359
Speaker 3: the schools. We've wanted to make it as easy as

61
00:02:40,400 --> 00:02:42,800
Speaker 3: possible and I can. I got some the I asked

62
00:02:42,800 --> 00:02:45,320
Speaker 3: the team for the info for you this morning. As

63
00:02:45,320 --> 00:02:51,000
Speaker 3: at this morning, we've had ninety five million dollars bonus.

64
00:02:51,520 --> 00:02:54,080
Speaker 3: People need it, Yeah, and that means that's money that

65
00:02:54,320 --> 00:02:58,000
Speaker 3: parents have for other things that they spend on, and

66
00:02:58,040 --> 00:03:00,519
Speaker 3: it has I've been in my own been visiting the

67
00:03:00,600 --> 00:03:03,120
Speaker 3: uniform shop a bit this summer with the kids, and

68
00:03:03,200 --> 00:03:06,000
Speaker 3: I've seen parents use I've seen you talking to that.

69
00:03:06,120 --> 00:03:07,840
Speaker 1: Do you do ours in the tuch shop at your

70
00:03:07,919 --> 00:03:08,280
Speaker 1: kids home?

71
00:03:08,600 --> 00:03:08,680
Speaker 2: No?

72
00:03:08,760 --> 00:03:10,000
Speaker 3: I used to do a bit of reading in the

73
00:03:10,040 --> 00:03:12,680
Speaker 3: classroom back in the day before I had Yeah, right,

74
00:03:12,720 --> 00:03:15,120
Speaker 3: this job but no, I've been I was on uniform

75
00:03:15,120 --> 00:03:18,799
Speaker 3: shop duty this year and it was really watching families

76
00:03:18,880 --> 00:03:20,760
Speaker 3: use it. I could see how it was making a

77
00:03:20,840 --> 00:03:21,440
Speaker 3: real difference.

78
00:03:21,520 --> 00:03:25,480
Speaker 1: Yeah. Absolutely, Well we've got you. Can we talk about yesterday.

79
00:03:25,120 --> 00:03:29,799
Speaker 2: Yes, Sam abdul Rahim, this is horrifying and for many

80
00:03:29,840 --> 00:03:33,880
Speaker 2: in the community, it's really scary. Are you confident that

81
00:03:34,200 --> 00:03:36,320
Speaker 2: the homicide squad the police have got this in hand

82
00:03:36,400 --> 00:03:38,000
Speaker 2: and should the public feel concerned?

83
00:03:38,280 --> 00:03:40,320
Speaker 3: Victoria Police and I think you might have been talking

84
00:03:40,320 --> 00:03:43,160
Speaker 3: to them earlier as well. They're they're throwing They've got

85
00:03:43,200 --> 00:03:47,360
Speaker 3: huge resources on this, they have their organized crime task

86
00:03:47,400 --> 00:03:50,200
Speaker 3: courses and work incredibly hard. The advice I have, the

87
00:03:50,200 --> 00:03:53,720
Speaker 3: advice at VIC Pole's given given me, is that this

88
00:03:53,920 --> 00:03:57,840
Speaker 3: was targeted, very clear, Like it's horrifying, horrifying scenes and

89
00:03:57,920 --> 00:04:00,600
Speaker 3: must be have been very distressing for the local community.

90
00:04:00,960 --> 00:04:04,080
Speaker 3: But it was a targeted It was a targeted.

91
00:04:05,640 --> 00:04:07,440
Speaker 1: I know everyone keeps saying that, and we were in

92
00:04:07,480 --> 00:04:09,640
Speaker 1: this discussion before because it was a shooting in South.

93
00:04:09,400 --> 00:04:13,040
Speaker 3: The similar circumstance, targeted attack.

94
00:04:13,400 --> 00:04:14,600
Speaker 1: But at the end of the day, it's if I

95
00:04:14,680 --> 00:04:17,520
Speaker 1: was in that car park yesterday, you know, and all

96
00:04:17,600 --> 00:04:20,520
Speaker 1: hell breaks loose. You know, people are concerned that they're

97
00:04:20,520 --> 00:04:20,960
Speaker 1: going to be.

98
00:04:23,160 --> 00:04:27,560
Speaker 3: That's a totally natural reaction. Look, I can take the

99
00:04:27,600 --> 00:04:30,160
Speaker 3: vic Pole advice. They're saying it was targeted. They're saying

100
00:04:30,160 --> 00:04:33,440
Speaker 3: there's no broader risk to the community, and we know

101
00:04:33,520 --> 00:04:36,720
Speaker 3: that vic Pole they've got eyes on these groups and

102
00:04:36,760 --> 00:04:39,200
Speaker 3: they are throwing that through a lot of resources at

103
00:04:39,200 --> 00:04:39,800
Speaker 3: this work.

104
00:04:40,480 --> 00:04:43,159
Speaker 4: Okay, well, while we're talking about feeling safe in the community,

105
00:04:43,320 --> 00:04:45,599
Speaker 4: we have got a huge problem here with youth crime.

106
00:04:46,400 --> 00:04:50,400
Speaker 4: A lot of finger pointing is going towards you and

107
00:04:50,480 --> 00:04:51,080
Speaker 4: the government.

108
00:04:51,680 --> 00:04:52,839
Speaker 3: What are we doing about it?

109
00:04:52,839 --> 00:04:55,240
Speaker 4: Because I think people are more Honestly, what I saw yesterday,

110
00:04:55,279 --> 00:04:57,479
Speaker 4: I'm not as concerned about as someone's stealing a car,

111
00:04:57,600 --> 00:05:00,320
Speaker 4: a kid stealing a car, getting arrested and then getting

112
00:05:00,320 --> 00:05:00,839
Speaker 4: released again.

113
00:05:00,880 --> 00:05:04,000
Speaker 1: On the home stuff, that's really it feels.

114
00:05:03,800 --> 00:05:07,120
Speaker 3: Like it's out of contral No, there's no doubt. There's

115
00:05:07,120 --> 00:05:09,760
Speaker 3: no doubt. The stats tell you, your lived experience tells you

116
00:05:10,360 --> 00:05:12,880
Speaker 3: that we have seen an increase in that sort of behavior,

117
00:05:12,920 --> 00:05:16,000
Speaker 3: particularly from there's some groups. And again this is the

118
00:05:16,000 --> 00:05:17,839
Speaker 3: advice I get from vic Pol. There's a group of

119
00:05:18,040 --> 00:05:22,800
Speaker 3: young offenders and they are repeat offenders. So in recognizing

120
00:05:22,839 --> 00:05:25,680
Speaker 3: this is a real issue in the community. The Victorian Parliament,

121
00:05:25,760 --> 00:05:27,760
Speaker 3: we passed the laws last year to give the courts

122
00:05:27,760 --> 00:05:30,359
Speaker 3: and the police stronger powers, stronger powers to deal with

123
00:05:30,360 --> 00:05:32,039
Speaker 3: the youth offenders, not grant them bail.

124
00:05:32,440 --> 00:05:35,240
Speaker 4: Not because I feel like the police are doing their

125
00:05:35,320 --> 00:05:37,080
Speaker 4: job and these kids again frustrating.

126
00:05:37,600 --> 00:05:39,400
Speaker 1: Was it in Queensland? I saw over the holidays that

127
00:05:39,440 --> 00:05:42,680
Speaker 1: they've lowered the age Yeah, adult crime at out time.

128
00:05:42,839 --> 00:05:45,159
Speaker 1: This is what it's been as unbelievable.

129
00:05:45,680 --> 00:05:49,919
Speaker 3: Yeah, look, that's that's Queensland's pathway. What we've chosen to

130
00:05:49,960 --> 00:05:52,480
Speaker 3: do is give police more powers and the courts too,

131
00:05:52,960 --> 00:05:54,000
Speaker 3: and also powers.

132
00:05:54,000 --> 00:05:55,400
Speaker 4: But what about the courts because it feels like these

133
00:05:55,440 --> 00:05:55,880
Speaker 4: kids are just.

134
00:05:55,800 --> 00:05:59,640
Speaker 3: Getting there's stronger bail requirements, stronger new offenses if you

135
00:05:59,680 --> 00:06:02,200
Speaker 3: commit about not getting bail, if you commit a serious

136
00:06:02,240 --> 00:06:04,240
Speaker 3: offense while you're on bail. But it feels like it's

137
00:06:04,279 --> 00:06:07,080
Speaker 3: not happening. Well, these laws are being rolled out right

138
00:06:07,160 --> 00:06:09,360
Speaker 3: now and it is. You know, we're giving the courts

139
00:06:09,400 --> 00:06:12,240
Speaker 3: these powers, We're giving the cops these powers. And then

140
00:06:12,240 --> 00:06:14,680
Speaker 3: I also want to flag we're rolling out this year

141
00:06:14,880 --> 00:06:18,840
Speaker 3: electronic monitoring, so on some of these youth offenders, the offenders,

142
00:06:18,920 --> 00:06:22,200
Speaker 3: electronic monitoring because we need to make sure that there's

143
00:06:22,200 --> 00:06:23,120
Speaker 3: an accountability.

144
00:06:23,279 --> 00:06:26,040
Speaker 1: Absolutely, but as long as if someone's monitoring them and

145
00:06:26,080 --> 00:06:27,719
Speaker 1: they leave their house, that we go and pick them up.

146
00:06:27,720 --> 00:06:30,440
Speaker 1: Because I mean, without sounding like an old grumpy man,

147
00:06:30,480 --> 00:06:32,719
Speaker 1: it's like it's like we're saying, oh, we've now got

148
00:06:32,760 --> 00:06:33,760
Speaker 1: air tag technology.

149
00:06:33,800 --> 00:06:38,120
Speaker 4: It feels like these kids are out smarting the system.

150
00:06:38,160 --> 00:06:40,560
Speaker 4: Like I don't know, hang on, hang on, I don't

151
00:06:40,560 --> 00:06:42,000
Speaker 4: know if you saw that video the other day of

152
00:06:42,040 --> 00:06:44,200
Speaker 4: that kid who was driving and he was filming himself

153
00:06:44,200 --> 00:06:47,440
Speaker 4: saying I do this because I can, because I'm going

154
00:06:47,520 --> 00:06:49,160
Speaker 4: to get led out again, Like.

155
00:06:49,720 --> 00:06:52,200
Speaker 3: And that's why we needed the That's why we needed

156
00:06:52,240 --> 00:06:54,960
Speaker 3: those law changes. And also too, I can flag with

157
00:06:55,000 --> 00:06:56,960
Speaker 3: you this morning, like if we need to do more,

158
00:06:57,000 --> 00:06:59,159
Speaker 3: we will. We need to do more, we will. We've

159
00:06:59,160 --> 00:07:01,719
Speaker 3: passed fields we need to do. And this is something

160
00:07:01,760 --> 00:07:04,440
Speaker 3: again I hear this from hear this from police, hear

161
00:07:04,440 --> 00:07:06,800
Speaker 3: this from people in communities right across the state. And

162
00:07:06,839 --> 00:07:10,480
Speaker 3: what you said Lauren before about that frustrating that people.

163
00:07:10,560 --> 00:07:12,440
Speaker 3: It's frustrating, you know, the repeats.

164
00:07:12,520 --> 00:07:14,840
Speaker 2: So when are those bracelets coming?

165
00:07:15,160 --> 00:07:18,320
Speaker 3: So we're rolling at that trial this year. In terms

166
00:07:18,360 --> 00:07:20,680
Speaker 3: of the electronic monitoring and it is about I get.

167
00:07:20,520 --> 00:07:22,440
Speaker 1: The monitoring, lock them up. I say, if someone breaks

168
00:07:22,480 --> 00:07:24,400
Speaker 1: into my house at two o'clock in the morning, mate,

169
00:07:24,920 --> 00:07:25,800
Speaker 1: they need to be locked down.

170
00:07:25,840 --> 00:07:27,680
Speaker 3: Well, that's again why we've made those bail changes.

171
00:07:28,440 --> 00:07:33,240
Speaker 2: Just finally, you'll a politician say, poles will come and go.

172
00:07:33,440 --> 00:07:35,160
Speaker 2: I mean the most recent one had the primary aiate

173
00:07:35,200 --> 00:07:37,720
Speaker 2: at around twenty two percent. I mean, why aren't the

174
00:07:37,760 --> 00:07:39,400
Speaker 2: public buying what you're selling?

175
00:07:39,640 --> 00:07:43,000
Speaker 3: Look, I absolutely expect understand, and again it comes from

176
00:07:43,000 --> 00:07:46,680
Speaker 3: talking to people. Community wants more from their governments. We've

177
00:07:46,680 --> 00:07:48,920
Speaker 3: been talking this morning about the cost of living pressures.

178
00:07:49,160 --> 00:07:52,760
Speaker 3: Absolutely know that that's a real pressure for households and

179
00:07:52,800 --> 00:07:54,960
Speaker 3: families across the state. It's why we've got the school

180
00:07:54,960 --> 00:07:58,400
Speaker 3: saving bonus. It's why last week we announced a fuel plan,

181
00:07:58,480 --> 00:08:01,000
Speaker 3: a fair fuel plan to save motors hundreds of dollars

182
00:08:01,040 --> 00:08:04,560
Speaker 3: a year on fuel. I absolutely accept that governments me,

183
00:08:04,800 --> 00:08:06,960
Speaker 3: people like me, and these leadership roles, we've got to

184
00:08:06,960 --> 00:08:09,520
Speaker 3: work harder. We've got to understand where the community is at,

185
00:08:09,760 --> 00:08:13,240
Speaker 3: listen to the community and respond to what they're telling it,

186
00:08:13,400 --> 00:08:16,320
Speaker 3: and particularly on costs of living. It's real, it's hurting people.

187
00:08:16,640 --> 00:08:19,360
Speaker 3: And my commitment is to fight for those households and

188
00:08:19,400 --> 00:08:21,280
Speaker 3: families because.

189
00:08:21,480 --> 00:08:23,680

190
00:08:23,720 --> 00:08:24,680
Speaker 2: while by election there?

191
00:08:25,440 --> 00:08:29,080
Speaker 3: And look that is absolutely right, But governments and all

192
00:08:29,120 --> 00:08:31,559
Speaker 3: political parties are put to the test at election times.

193
00:08:31,600 --> 00:08:33,559
