Bec Judd rails against the Victoria government’s stance on crime as WAG says she’s scared of ‘machete-wielding youths’ invading her Bayside home

Rebecca Judd has spoken out against the Victorian government for its handling of a wave of youth crimes plaguing Melbourne’s most affluent suburbs.

Thursday is the Herald Sun reported that 80 repeat offenders had been arrested and released more than ten times each in the past year, causing fear among residents of Melbourne’s Bayside region.

Rebecca, 41, who lives in a $7.3 million Brighton mansion with her AFL star husband Chris and their four children, was outraged by the update and promptly took to Instagram Stories to vent her frustration.

“Victoria Police are doing their job. The justice system and the state government are not,” she stated, reposting a screenshot of the Herald Sun article.

The footy WAG then took a direct swipe at Victorian Premier Jacinta Allan, accusing her of ‘staying silent as we wonder if a gang of machete-wielding youths will enter our homes while our children sleep.’

“Lock bail violators. Ban on machetes and other weapons. There is a beginning,” she added.

It’s not the first time Rebecca has spoken publicly about her concerns over the recent spike in youth crime plaguing Victoria.

In June 2022, Rebecca made headlines by saying she felt ‘unsafe’ in her country home, following a spate of home burglaries in her area.

On Instagram, the WAG claimed the Victorian government ‘didn’t seem to care’ about the ‘rapes, bashing and home invasions by the gangs in Bayside’.

“I personally know two women who have experienced house burglaries in Brighton in recent weeks while at home,” she said.

She also posted CCTV footage of a group of young men lurking outside properties in her affluent suburb, claiming it made her feel ‘unsafe’.

The teens, who were reportedly armed with knives, were filmed lurking outside several properties in the Bayside area before crashing a stolen BMW into a tree.

In February the following year, Rebecca doubled down on her claim that Melbourne’s elite suburbs are under siege by criminals after a man’s luxury Mercedes was stolen with his dog still inside.

“Same shit, different night. Yesterday, the Queensland Government announced major changes to the laws young people are breaking, following community outrage. It’s time the Victorian Government did the same,” she wrote.

More recently, Rebecca last month called on Ms Allan to ‘fix the system’, following the alleged murder of Dr Ashley Gordon by two teenagers.

Rebecca said on Instagram at the time that it was sad to see how broken the justice system had become, and pleaded with Ms Allan to lock up offenders.

‘This story is so sad. The justice system is broken. Fix this Jacinta Allan. Let this be your legacy,” she wrote alongside a report on Dr Gordon’s death.

“Until the ‘prevention first’ strategy starts working among teens (could take years. It may never work!), keep the community safe by locking up violent offenders.”
