  "account": "Victorian Labor party announces a new policy for youth crime, removing young offenders from the community for up to 12 months and placing them in rehabilitation detention. The Opposition has also promised to bring major sporting and entertainment events like the UFC back to Melbourne. If the Labor government is re-elected, rehabilitation detention centers will be established to treat around 500 kids over two years, providing them with education, trade skills, and a chance to turn their lives around. The Liberal Party, led by Jess Wilson, emphasizes the economic benefits of hosting such events, including boosting the economy, supporting small businesses, and creating jobs. Meanwhile, One Nation leader Pauline Hanson campaigns in Swan Hill to win the National Party-held seat of Murray Plains.",
