Jess Wilson: Victoria Is Breaking: Crime, Debt & The Truth No One’s Saying

What does strong leadership look like when a state is facing rising crime, economic pressure and a loss of confidence in its future?

Jess Wilson is the Leader of the Liberal Party in Victoria and a key voice shaping the state’s direction ahead of the November 2026 election. At just 35, she brings both political experience and a deeply personal perspective as a mother, navigating the same challenges many Victorian families are facing today.

In this episode, Sarah sits down with Jess for her first-ever podcast interview to explore what it takes to lead during uncertainty. Together, they unpack the realities behind housing affordability, government spending, crime, healthcare and the growing sentiment that Victoria is no longer what it once was and what it will take to restore it.

You’ll learn:

• Why Victoria’s rising debt is one of the most critical issues facing the state
• What’s driving the increase in crime, and the changes being proposed to restore safety
• Why home ownership feels out of reach for so many, and how that could change
• The impact of political decisions on everyday life, from ambulances to infrastructure
• How Jess balances leadership, motherhood and the responsibility of shaping the future

This episode is a powerful reflection on leadership, responsibility and the future of Victoria, and what it will take to bring hope back to the state.
