A shocking 296,000 unsolved criminal cases were reported in The Herald Sun on October 1, and we are only two-thirds of the way through the year, so we can brace for more bad news before year's end.

Any objective assessment of these numbers would suggest that, with the warmer months imminent, the seasonal uptick in crime will result in this number growing to over 100,000 for the year.

For Victorians, there is no solace in these numbers, and to add to our woes, it appears that there is no plan in place to address the issue. 

The State does not seek an apology, as apologies have become so common nowadays that they have lost their sincerity, but rather a plan and action on that plan to solve the problem is what the community wants. 

The community is well aware of the resource problems in VicPol; they see it every time they drive past a closed Police Station, so excuses won’t wash.
