Your safety

2. Prisons, detention centres, secure mental health facilities; several are receiving funding to be built or expanded, including new youth justice and serious offender facilities.
Losers
1. Anybody hoping for any surprise announcements. Most of the big-ticket items had already been announced, and the family violence funding is hardly a shock, given it is allocated to policies which had already been announced.
2. No funding for Victoria Police to revamp its operating model; to move away from smaller suburban stations to larger hubs, something the force has long advocated for, but which is politically sensitive, given it could mean closing police stations.
