Crime statistics

 Mr BURGESS (Hastings) (09:45): I would like to put on the record my condemnation of the Andrews government. Since they were elected in 2014, common assaults are up 38 per cent, rape is up 20.82 per cent, sexual offences against children are up 56 per cent, aggravated robbery is up 24 per cent, non-aggravated robbery is up 85 per cent and aggravated burglary is up 43 per cent.

Ms Neville interjected.

Mr BURGESS: And we are getting, unbelievably, heckled by the Minister for Police, who is under investigation. That is just incredible.
