Peter made a strategic announcement on the eve of the first voting day, a deliberate move to dominate media headlines, and stated that if elected, he would raise a $750 million package to make his country crime-free.
The opposition leader also announced that they will have a child sex offender register, and the aim is to make Australia a crime-free country. Through this register, parents can check if their child has interacted with anyone who has a history of crimes. He wants to protect kids from social evils and ensure children's safety.
Peter said, "As a former police officer and as a father, I have always fought for the protection of children from harm. This register is an idea whose time has come – and it is now time to put it into force to protect our kids."
Cash Told ABC reported that this policy is all about keeping drugs and thugs off Australia's streets and keeping it safe.
Eve Before First Voting Day?
Due to Peter's crime crackdown pledge, the evening before polling spelled trouble, and before that, he was running out of votes. However, after that, he not only maintained his credibility but also increased his first-preference supporters.
Dutton increased his percentage points by two percent, more than in the previous calculations.
