South-Eastern Metropolitan Region

 Ann-Marie HERMANS (South-Eastern Metropolitan) (12:57): (2373) My constituency question is to the Minister for Community Safety. Minister, latest data reveals that the City of Casey recorded the second-highest number of criminal incidents in public transport locations in the state, with a horrific total of 907 offences. Three other local council areas in my region – Greater Dandenong, Monash and Frankston – are also in the top 10 of this list. Many people in my local area use public transport to get to work and shopping centres or to simply go about their lives; some may not have any other option. Yet in Labor’s crime state, with less police, less PSOs and reduced hours at police stations, Victorians are simply not safe at train stations, at station car parks or at bus stops. Minister, what will you do to end crime in public transport locations so my constituents feel safe?
