00:00Cracking down on repeat offenders.
00:05If you keep breaking your bail, you belong in jail,
00:08and that's exactly what the Liberal Party will ensure.
00:11The Liberals rolling out a tough on crime election pledge,
00:14promising to lock up serious offenders who breach their bail.
00:18People are sick and tired of these people being let out on bail
00:22and then going out and re-offending.
00:24What I do see is the same people doing it over and over again.
00:28Alongside the new laws, there's $40 million for early intervention and rehab.
00:33The Liberals say their plan goes further than a state government proposal
00:37aimed at making it difficult for young offenders to get bail on their third serious offence.
00:42This is a one strike and you're out policy.
00:44I don't think they've actually thought out what it means,
00:47what a serious offence is, what bail conditions might be included.
00:52The opposition's addressing what it says is a youth crime crisis.
00:55The government disagrees, pointing to figures that show SA
00:58has the second lowest youth offender rate in the nation.
01:01Even so, they're taking a similarly hardline approach,
01:05highlighting new laws giving police greater powers over street gangs.
01:09We don't want to get to the sort of situation that many people see happen,
01:14you know, through their TVs, read about in the paper in the eastern states.
01:17South Australia may not have the youth crime issues of other states,
01:21but the political consequences are here anyway.
01:25With a state election now less than five months away,
01:28both parties are looking to take control of an issue
01:32that's been damaging for governments and pivotal in elections.
01:36who do not também have the reasons.
01:40All right.
