Rebecca Judd has slammed the Victorian Government after her repeated warnings about violent crime in her ritzy Bayside suburb were ignored.
State opposition Liberal MP James Newbury on Thursday posted crime statistics online outlining that there are 16 home invasions each day in Victoria, and a 43 per cent increase in aggravated burglaries in Bayside.
Rebecca, 41, who lives in a $7.3million Brighton mansion with her AFL star husband, Chris and four kids, was incensed by the update and promptly took to Instagram to vent her frustration.
‘Pretty sure someone warned the government about this in 2022 and was rubbished,’ she said.
‘They didn’t care then and they don’t care now. This is a Vic wide issue and not just Bayside.’

This is not the first time the footy WAG has slammed the Victorian Government for for its management of a spate of youth crimes plaguing Melbourne’s most affluent suburbs.
She has previously made headlines for voicing her concerns about gangs of ‘machete wielding youths’.
In June 2022, Rebecca said she felt ‘unsafe’ in her mansion and that she was ‘so sick of the rapes, bashings and home invasions at the hands of the gangs in Bayside’.
‘I personally know two women who have experienced home invasions in Brighton in the last few weeks while they were at home,’ she said.
Rebecca also reposted CCTV footage of a gang of young men lurking outside properties in her affluent suburb and claimed it made her feel ‘unsafe’.
The teenagers, who were allegedly armed with knives, were filmed lurking outside several properties in the Bayside area before allegedly crashing a stolen BMW into a tree.
Last year she doubled down on her claim that Melbourne’s elite suburbs are under siege by criminals, calling for changes to youth offending laws.

She has continually called on Premier Jacinta Allan to ‘fix the system’.
Following the alleged murder of Dr Ashley Gordon by two teenagers, Rebecca said the justice system needs to be overhauled.
‘This story is so sad. The justice system is broken. Fix this Jacinta Allan. Let this be your legacy,’ she said.
‘Until the prevention first strategy starts to work among teens, you need to keep the community safe and lock up violent offenders.’
