How often do you need to be bitten before chaining the Dog?

For more than a decade, warnings about a looming “crime tsunami” have been brushed aside as alarmist or out of touch. Yet the realities facing Victoria today tell a very different story. In The Crime Tsunami Just Goes On and On and On, Ad Infinitum, the Community Advocacy Alliance traces how repeated cautions, detailed analysis, and practical reform proposals were consistently ignored—despite mounting evidence that the existing approach to policing, justice, and governance was heading in the wrong direction. 

This is not hindsight commentary; it is a record of foresight that has proven uncomfortably accurate.

This powerful piece brings together years of published work, hard data, and firsthand experience from police and community voices alike, asking an unavoidable question: how many warnings does it take before real change occurs? If you are concerned about rising crime, declining confidence in law and order, and what this means for the future of Victoria, this is essential reading. Visit our website to read the full story and decide for yourself whether the lessons of the past ten years can still shape a safer future—or whether the cycle will simply continue, ad infinitum.
