 Trung LUU (Western Metropolitan) (19:42): (2094) My constituency question is for the Minister for Police. Crime in Victoria is not easing. Criminal incidents continue to rise in my region in the west. Sunshine alone recorded more than 2500 incidents last year, an increase on the previous year. Residents are dealing with ongoing carjackings, gang violence, home invasions and other serious offences. The community is exhausted and wants action. Can the minister please update my constituents on whether he is planning to act on the call from his own colleagues, including the member for Laverton, to deploy more police to the Sunshine community, specifically protective services officers at Sunshine railway station? For once I agree with Ms Connolly in other place, and I urge the minister to finally increase police resources for Brimbank and the west, where they are urgently needed.
