Foxy,

Here you are victim shaming, A man and his family have been traumatized by a home invasion while his entire family were present. What's next, blaming women for getting raped?

The thugs then went on to another home invasion, an armed robbery on a petrol station, and the hijacking of another car all within a few hours.

The point is not that there are other robberies, but the brazen and violent nature of their crimes is what is alarming Melbournians. These gangs while responsible for 1% of the total crime in Melbourne are responsible for nearly 50% of the violent crime and their spectacular and brazen activities are what is generating the headlines.

That Labor is playing the racism card because it does not suit their political agenda is despicable. Voters are frightened and either Labor does something or the voters will.

Improve your argument.

This one doesn't wash with either me or the voters
in Victoria where our Premier is doing a great job.

Matthew Guy's and The Australian's tactics don't wash.

Shadow Minister in nearly every post reminds us muck raking is first and policy runs last on his side of politics, if that is not true please highlight the number of staff who have left Cashes office, tell us as many times as you like of the criminal faction in African migrants, even what we already know, they are over represented but too tell of how many say Pacific Islanders the same could be said about,or even Lebanese, gee Australians could be included

Dear Belly,

With Shadow it's always political - always finger-pointing.
And yet he claims he's "impartial." He's so one-eyed it's
a waste of time arguing with him. Heaven knows I've tried.
And now I barely read his posts. Of course crime exists
and criminals do bad things - but continuing to spread fear
and blame selective groups while ignoring other -
as a pre-election tactic is a
turn-off. As I said it's become political and for Shadow it
always was. We should just leave him alone and not give him
the platform he's after.

Yes Foxy made up my mind about that a decade ago but still find time to try reasoning,my super Saturday has become two weeks as SM tries to convince me voters actually did not like my mob my memory is he and a few others denied the [for them] spiders webb known as Kevin Rudd was across their track so not much chance reasoning will work

Dear Belly,

The voters will get it right in the end - you'll see.
People are drifting away from the usual political spin -
And the usual political smear tactics no longer work - except
for the very gullible. Most people no longer accept those
outmoded strategies - of winning at someone else's expense.
