The Justice Minister isn't resting on his laurels following optimistic new crime data.  

The Crime and Victims Survey shows there were 147 thousand victims of serious violent crime in the year to August.  

That’s 38 thousand fewer victims than when the coalition came into Government in 2023.  

Paul Goldsmith told Mike Hosking the outcome is a result of the Government going after gangs and the three-strikes law.  

He says it has also ended the last Government's culture of excuses.
