Yes, I agree that’s a concern - but I thought we could probably deal with this issue without concerning ourselves too much with the rise in violent crime against Australian residents of East African descent. Still, I guess racism will have that sort of consequence. |

The director’s cut of Les Enfants Du Paradis - the restored market scene where the robot is torn limb from limb by the raptor is a special favourite. |

All pretty meaningless, as reporting varies so much across time and many variables are at play. Only serious crimes involving injury (GBH+) are likely to be reported reliably from period to period. How an increase in criminal injury to a record high makes Victoria “the safest it has been in ten years” per the headline is a mystery for the underworked sleuths. 17700 traumatized people in one year might want to pick a bone with that headline.
Robberies are clearly down, which I surmise is due to immigration. Melbourne has added a million people since 2006. New immigrants, especially those from countries with strong social cohesion in Asia, do not tend to burgle or mug at high rates, and so many have arrived that the denominator change is material.
It’s also interesting that an age of rising inequality is supposedly bringing a fall in crime. There goes that theory, if you believe the stats.
Meanwhile, racism card played against facts as usual. Ho hum. _________________ Two more flags before I die! |

So they should. The rich (and getting richer) dom't need a walking track. FFS they have the lake, the beach, Fawkner Park, Botanical gardens, the tan, all within a few KMs. The running club at Albert Park had 40 members. The vice president of the SAP mob for years worked with me. He owned 2 houses in Albert Park through inheritance and a few acres and a holiday house on the Mornington Peninsula near Portsea. Every year he got arrested for protesting and they paid his fines. They can walk the golf course after daylight . _________________ Annoying opposition supporters since 1967. |
