Philip S.,

You betcha!

Life is very satisfying! (smile).

Time will tell if this is true. One way ticket home to Africa.

Police say they know every member of African gang linked to robberies, street brawls and intimidation

Police have warned members of the Blood Drill Killers, the African gang of youths terrorisng Melbourne, that they know who they are.

Members of the Blood Drill Killers (BDK) appear to be imitating the actions of other dangerous African gangs including Menace to Society and Apex.

Although members range in age from just 14 to 17 they have been engaging in robberies and other illegal activities, The Herald Sun reported.

They are also known to be using social media to communicate with each other as well as share their exploits with followers.

But police now say they are not only aware of the gang itself, but have identified nearly - if not all - of the group's young members.

'Victoria Police is aware of an emerging group called Blood Drill Killers. It is believed some of their offending has also been committed with Menace to Society members,' a Victoria Police spokeswoman said.

'Police have been monitoring the group for several months now and Wayward Taskforce are confident they know the identity of the majority, if not all, BDK members.

'BDK is comprised of African-Australian males, aged 14 to 17 years old. Police have arrested a number of teenagers linked to BDK in the past few weeks.'

While police could not give accurate numbers in relation to the arrests of the gang members, they could confirm that arrests have been primarily related to robbery and affray.

BDK is considered less dangerous than its older counterparts as they focus more on lower-level crimes such as phone robberies.

However, police have raised concerns that BDK is becoming increasingly violent.

A number of members have been linked to the brutal fight in St Albans last week, which left a man in hospital, according to police.

Wooden bats and chairs were used in the violent clash on Christmas Eve.

BDK is now the focus for a group of detectives trying to stamp out thuggery.

Philip S.,

Care to discuss anything about Labor and refugees?

Or don't you have anything more on the subject
of the discussion that you've started here?

Just a thought.

Foxy Labor have recently been silent on what they will do so nothing to comment about.

Unless you know something new.

Philip S.,

Afraid not.

I guess we'll have to wait and see prior
to the next election - what the policies
of both parties will be. And whether any
changes will be made. Or even if the
party leaders will stay the same.

Labor, dare I mention the word? lets be honest in this place for some/many it is a dirty word
Never the less Labor has not been silent
Its National conference set out clear paths in this area
Labor will not let the boats start up
They will look closely at the NZ offer, BUT remain aware! smugglers want to send thousands to NZ given the chance
This world, forget the UN is headed for much tougher refugee policy's
Labor will win the election,small party's battle to win senate seats
Being a Labor voter does not mean I have two heads
I remain Australian
A THINKING CARING ONE
