The South Australian Liberal Party has announced a “break bail, face jail” policy similar to the Victorian opposition led by Brad Battin.

Liberal leader Vincent Tarzia promised that if he wins the state election in March 2026, there will be tougher new bail laws, more cops on the beat, and early intervention and rehabilitation programs.
