Violent Melbourne, page-130

@daicosisgod; all home invasions, drug dealing, gang activity etc are of serious concern and should never be tolerated. It's my view that we should be doing much better throughout Australia - that's one of the reasons I supported the 'Recognition via a Voice to Parliament' referendum.

The Coalition's track record on crime is truly awful as demonstrated by how it's turned a blind eye and deaf ears to the practices of our big banks, to public service contractor providers, to those who rorted JobKeeper of $42 Billion and to those who engineered and imposed 'Robodebt' on Australia's most honest and vulnerable people.

Then there's the Coalition's support for the slaughter of Palestinian civilians by Netanyahu's rogue genocidal regime, its support for the utterly disgraced Sri Lankan regime which ethnically cleansed Sri Lanka of Tamils, it's appalling attempt to prevent investigations into war crimes allegations against ADF personnel and its illegal indefinite incarceration of asylum seekers in offshore concentration camps - crimes against humanity itself!

Part of what your relentless, vitriolic and grossly exaggerated abuse of Daniel Andrews performance as Victoria's best ever Premier lacks is perspective - a 10% reduction in homicides throughout the USA does NOT mask the harsh reality that Americans are killing themselves far more often than losses by their armed forces on overseas missions, every year more than 600 homicides are committed in each of many large US cities, Melbourne is NOT in that league!

"... CPD said there were 617 murders in Chicago last year, down from 709 in 2022. ..."
