“Frankly, I think we’ve got some particular problems in Victoria,” Mr Dutton responded.
“Some of the judicial appointments … I think while Mr Andrews talks tough during an election campaign about these matters, he spends the other three and a half years being pretty soft on law and order.”
But Neil Mitchell said that was a “long bow” to draw.
