Adjournment
Ms TIERNEY (Western Victoria—Minister for Training and Skills, Minister for Higher Education) (17:35): I move:
That the house do now adjourn.
Dallas community safety
Mr ONDARCHIE (Northern Metropolitan) (17:35): (1920) My adjournment matter is for the Minister for Police. The people of Dallas are concerned about dangerous hooning, antisocial behaviour and the illegal dumping of rubbish in their suburb. I recently invited the people of Dallas to complete my community survey, and I thank the many, many people that responded to that survey—thank you. Dallas is such a diverse, multicultural and wonderful community. In the early part of my career I worked in Dallas, and so I have got to see the development of the different cultures, the diversity and the wonderful people that live there. The action I seek from the minister is for the government to commit to extra police patrols in the Dallas area to deter hooning on Pascoe Vale Road, King Street and Barry Road and the illegal dumping of rubbish near Phillip Street and Blair Street and along the Merlynston Creek. Dallas residents really care for their suburb, and they deserve a cleaner and safer environment in which to raise their families.
