News Corp Senior Writer Patrick Carlyon comments on crime being a major issue in the federal election.

Mr Carlyon claimed crime has worsened to the point where Victorians are in “jeopardy” in their own homes.

“There was a poll I think back in January that showed that climate change as an important issue that dropped off, safety, public anxiety about safety had gone up 10 per cent or something,” Mr Carlyon said.

“I don’t think you’re going to lose any votes by doing this are you – and it does actually, in places like Victoria, is does tap into that sense that the state government has been so weak in crime, that we are actually in jeopardy in our own homes.

“It is something that can be exploited, I don’t think it’s going to lose any votes, and it will be interesting to see how it plays out.”
