The State of Victoria is in a terrible mess and is deteriorating before our eyes; not a day goes by without more bad news.

We have a rapidly climbing crime rate in the worst categories.

• A Road Toll is off the Richter scale,
• Domestic Violence is out of control, 
• Youth crime is at levels never seen before,
• The burgeoning drug problem ruining lives on an unprecedented scale,
• Rampant Cybercrime,
• Outlaw Motorcycle Gangs (OMG) and Organised Crime gang strategies failing, all operating with a degree of impunity,
• A broken legal system, taking years to resolve straightforward cases and with little or no empathy for victims,
• A biased legal system with serious crimes going unprosecuted based on who the perpetrator is rather than impartiality applied,
• If you need Police in a hurry, any chance of a response is problematic.

A crisis seems an understatement.

Additionally, the mooted Police industrial action currently confronting the community aggravates the overall perception that this State has an ineffective Police Force, which feeds into accelerating the further decline of the issue being confronted by us all.

The government must do what it takes to resolve this industrial matter quickly.
