 Renee HEATH (Eastern Victoria) (13:01): (2392) Since the last election crime in Hastings has risen by 22 per cent. There were four break-ins in five weeks at the dog obedience club. The post office recently had its windows kicked in. Dirt bikes are terrorising the streets at night. Statistics show that crime is up and the people of Hastings are less safe now than they were before Paul Mercurio won the seat for Labor. That is why Frank Schiefler and over a thousand community members are calling for the police station in Hastings to be open 24 hours a day. So my question for the Minister for Police is: will you deliver this? Because the community are asking for it, and because, I tell you what, the Liberal Party will.
