This in how unsafe Victoria has become:
For the year ending June 2025, according to the Crime Statistics Agency(https://www.crimestatistics.vic.gov.au/) , there were:
18,482 serious assaults - a 16 per cent increase
7,856 residential aggravated burglaries - a 22 per cent increase
3,828 robberies - a 17 per cent increase
33,018 motor vehicle theft - a 42 per cent increase
86,351 steal from a motor vehicle - a 39 per cent increase
41,667 steal from a retail store - a 28 per cent increase
11,075 prohibited and controlled weapon offences - a 12 per cent increase.
9,663 family violence related serious assaults - a 23% per cent increase.
You add in all the graffiti, unoccupied run down buildings full of squatters, needles everywhere you walk, increases in ambulance staff and nurses getting attacked on the job, drones landing in family members backyards with white packs of powder on board, kids getting murdered on the way home from a basketball game.
The you have the Victorian Government actually cutting funding for Youth Crime Prevention programs and the Youth Support and Advocacy Service (YSAS).
Debt in Victoria continues to grow faster than both the economy and revenue, with government sector gross debt nearing 30 per cent of the state’s economy. Credit rating has gone backwards and the auditor-general said gross debt was forecast to grow to $240 billion by 2028-29, about 202 per cent of operating revenue.
Crime is on the rise and so is the expenditure for victims of crime...Liabilities from redress schemes, and financial assistance for victims of crime grew from $30 million five years ago to $853 million.
Anyone living in Victoria should be concerned where the State is heading....future is bleak and the Crims are winning with the amount of unsolved crimes also increasing.
Overreaction EB, Jacinta says everything is fine. I'd love to debate this with you but have to tend to the pink elephant that flew passed my window. Then I need to get the chimney ready for Santa in 26 days.
