Multiple outlets report that the Victorian premier rejects the idea of establishing a royal commission to investigate crime, arguing it is not the right approach. The articles state the premier’s position is conditional: while a royal commission is not supported, Victoria may consider adopting elements of a crime-busting system used in New South Wales. The coverage frames the proposal as a practical alternative, suggesting Victoria could “turn to NSW” for a model it can implement. Across the sources, the central point is that the premier does not call for a broad inquiry of the type a royal commission represents, but instead suggests improvements should come through existing frameworks and policies. The articles do not indicate that a royal commission is being pursued, nor do they provide detailed legislative or procedural steps. Overall, they describe a debate over how to address crime, with the premier’s stance emphasizing action and system-level reform rather than a formal, independent commission. The sources converge on the same message: rejection of a royal commission, paired with openness to learning from New South Wales’ crime response approach.
