Bec Judd slams ex-Premier Daniel Andrews as she continues crusade against crime: 'I've banded Victorians together'
Rebecca Judd has slammed former Victorian Premier Daniel Andrews as she continues to rail against crime in her home state. The AFL WAG, 42, has been a flag-bearer for fighting Victoria's spiralling crime crisis and weak bail laws for several years. She appeared on Triple M's Friday Huddle this week and wasted no time in taking aim at the former Premier. Bec listened to Andrews' blunt response to her 2022 video, in which she first voiced her concerns about feeling 'unsafe'. Andrews shot down Judd's claims that not enough was being done to combat crime in her upmarket suburb of Brighton. From A-list scandals and red carpet mishaps to exclusive pictures and viral moments, subscribe to the DailyMail's new showbiz newsletter to stay in the loop. 'I'm not interested in having an argument with Ms Judd,' he said at the time. 'I'm also obliged to point out though, I think there are more than 70 additional police in the Bayside area. The most recent crime statistics released by an independent agency would not support those sweeping assessments about patterns of crime.' After listening to the throwback clip, Judd slammed the former Premier as a 'liar'. 'Actually a pretty good actor isn't he?' she said. 'That was a flat out lie about the data and the extra police officers... a lie which has been proven. '[He is] probably the biggest liar Victoria has ever seen.' Judd added while she was initially trolled for her outspoken stance on Melbourne crime, Victorians have started to rally behind the influencer. 'There's a lot of: "how dare you have an opinion because you live in that suburb". I always get: "white privileged woman from Brighton", so therefore I'm not entitled to an opinion. 'There was a heck of a lot of trolling, just go and spend some more on private security and shut up.' 'Actually a pretty good actor isn't he?' she said. 'That was a flat out lie about the data and the extra police officers... a lie which has been proven. '[He is] probably the biggest liar Victoria has ever seen' She said that her continued efforts to highlight what she described as a 'huge problem' throughout the state have resulted in the trolls vanishing. 'All of a sudden the trolling has disappeared – I would say 100 per cent of my DMs are now: "you were right, keep speaking up about it,"' she said. 'The support has been insane – I don't think I get blowback from anyone now. I've had people apologise to me, I've had people say: "I was against you and now I'm not". Even people who didn't like me for whatever reason.' 'I feel like I've really banded Victorians together,' she said. 'The fact of the matter is we have a huge problem and this is killing our state.' It comes after Judd took aim at Andrews back in March, saying he could've saved lives if he fixed Melbourne's crime scourge while in power. She called Andrews 'the Dictator' in a social media post to her 750,000-plus Instagram followers after current Premier Jacinta Allan announced the government would implement harsher bail laws. 'Gee, this aged well,' Judd posted on Instagram with an accompanying image of a 2022 story in which she warned Melbourne has a crime crisis. 'Imagine the lives that could've been saved. Imagine the terror experienced by so many Victorians that could've been stopped if the Dictator had acted when I called this out. 'Today Jacinta Allan has announced the toughest bail laws in the country. Yes it is too late for so many but it is a start. 'And mark my words, if the government stuffs this up again, I will continue to let everyone know about it. 'I am a mum and proud Victorian who just wants my beloved Melbourne to go back to being the best city in the world where everybody feels safe to live their lives.'
