Episode Details

Victoria Police’s new Chief Commissioner, Mike Bush, is rolling up his sleeves to overhaul crime-fighting in Australia — drawing on his proven success in New Zealand. With a $4 billion budget and 20,000 staff, Bush is pushing for a five percent annual drop in violent crime, boosted by visible policing and prevention. He’s touring the state, listening to frontline officers, and ditching top-down speeches for boots-on-the-ground leadership. His bold agenda includes mandatory sentencing for violent crimes, faster trials, less paperwork, and tougher asset seizure laws — all aimed at restoring public trust and empowering cops. With elections looming and crime rising, Bush is committed to his full five-year term, focused on building a police force that’s not just reactive — but truly transformative.
