 Evan MULHOLLAND (Northern Metropolitan) (12:53): My constituency question is for the Minister for Police and it concerns the surge in violent crime in the outer northern suburbs. My community in Broadmeadows have had violent attacks and chaos on our streets almost on a daily basis. We saw horrifying footage from the Harmony Cup on the weekend. We have seen time after time incidents at Broadmeadows station and at Broadmeadows Central shocking our news headlines. This is unacceptable and a direct result of this government’s weakness on crime. Minister, it is time your government admitted your failings. We need to urgently strengthen Victoria’s bail laws and introduce wanding powers and extra powers for police. Minister, the Premier recently said that the CBD is safe. Is Broadmeadows safe?
