 David DAVIS (Southern Metropolitan) (14:47): (2342) My matter is for the Minister for Police, and it concerns Oakleigh and a resident in Atkinson Street in Oakleigh. They are facing significant noise pollution and dangerous speeding and hooning in and around Oakleigh, specifically along Atkinson Street and Atherton Road. That is a 40-k zone, and sometimes I am sure that is not strictly adhered to. But leaving that aside, this is very different from some casual error; this is a planned set of events, noise and hooning. As she said, the frustrating part is that this is not some mysterious underground operation. We know where they gather, the times they regularly appear and what they do. It should not be this hard, Ms Fenton said to the opposition through an email. So what I would ask is that the minister look into this. This is, it seems, because police have been stripped out of many local police stations, leaving towns exposed.
