“There has been a 58 per cent increase in crime in Bentleigh since the election of the Labor Government in 2014”
What RMIT ABC Fact Check found
There's more to the story than Mr Judah's claim suggests. Mr Judah and the Liberals have been driving their campaign truck adorned with crime statistics across the Bentleigh electorate, including the suburbs of Bentleigh, Bentleigh East, McKinnon, Hampton East, Moorabbin, Brighton East and Ormond. But Mr Judah's frequent social media posts, along with the Liberal Party media release, referred to criminal offence data that is specific to the suburb of Bentleigh and not the Bentleigh electorate...
Their words, from the summary they publish with the rating.
In short
Asher Judah (Liberal Party candidate) made this claim. RMIT ABC Fact Check (Australia) looked into it and published its finding on 15 November 2018. Its rating was “More to the story”.
