 Wayne FARNHAM (Narracan) (13:51): Also I know from talking to people of Moe that the Moe police station next month will only have the doors open from 6 am till 6 pm. Our wonderful police officers struggle with numbers to fully staff the station. They need to be out on the streets, and we all welcome that, but staffing issues at head office and Victoria Police are making it difficult to keep it open. Crime stats show that crime is up 30.7 per cent alone in Moe. Is this Allan Labor government saying that Moe is now the safest place to live in Victoria, because we are not having PSOs and we are having less police? Or is it the fact that the Allan government have conceded that this state is disintegrating in front of our eyes and they have no answers to the mountain of problems that they have created and that the crime stats, which are up 30.7 per cent, do not matter for the people of Moe and the Latrobe Valley?
