Kew electorate
Jess WILSON (Kew) (14:51): (1294) My question is to the Premier. This week I met with residents on Ramsay Avenue in Kew East to hear their concerns following a spate of aggravated burglaries in the street and in the area. In Kew we are seeing hooded offenders armed with machetes kicking down front doors. We have seen a father stabbed in the face, arms and eyes, and every day my office is inundated with CCTV footage showing armed offenders attempting to break into properties. The residents of Ramsay Avenue told me they are living in fear and they need a government that takes their concerns seriously. I have raised community safety with the Premier in Parliament on 6 March, 20 May and most recently on the 28 August, each time following a terrifying home invasion. Yet I have not received a single response on behalf of my local community. Premier, when will you finally take the concerns of my electorate seriously, have the decency to respond and introduce laws that ensure there are consequences for violent offenders in line with community expectations?
