Good Evening O Sung Wu,

I can only go by what's in our local newspapers,
in the mainstream media, and from our own experiences.
My husband go out regularly on a week-end. We've
not encountered any problems - either in the city
centre, or elsewhere.

As far as we're aware Melbourne, at least appears
to be a safe city.

Dear o sung wu,

I live in country Victoria and our postcode has dropped 40% in residential burglary incidents over the past year. Extra police numbers plus a strong focus on things like Neighbourhood Watch have certainly made a difference. There just seems to be a real determination from this government to fix the issue. Now perhaps they recognise that they have traditionally been deemed weak in this area so are going all, whatever but it seems to be working.

Unless there was a way to fudge these figures that I don't know about I'm putting a tick in our Premier's column for it.

Shadow Minister said- "The next elections are nearly a year away"

Answer- The next Victorian state election will be held on Saturday 24 November 2018 to elect the 59th Parliament of Victoria, including all 88 seats in the Legislative Assembly and all 40 in the Legislative Council.

These figures fell off the back of that herd of flying pink elephants.

Hi FOXY & STEELEREDUX...

OK, you'd both know more about it then I do. My mate, a D/Insp with VICPOL says differently! I've known this bloke since CHOGAM, 1983, where coppers were brought from most States to bolster VICPOL's numbers, and I've always found him to be a very adroit, very pragmatic copper, who calls a spade a spade. Who's right, I can only hope, it's you and FOXY, for the community's sake?

I think if you visit the prisons you would easily spot percentage wise who is responsible for most crime. Oh that's right it the colonist who are responsible for these immigrants and locals committing crime because we are to horrible to them.
