 Melina BATH (Eastern Victoria) (12:57): (2396) My question is to the Minister for Police. Under Labor crime is up and community safety is eroding. It is incredible that in regional Victoria people have to second-guess themselves when they want to go to the supermarket. In Latrobe Valley a lady attending Coles in Morwell was allegedly carjacked by people wearing balaclavas and hoodies and carrying bats. This is not acceptable, and this is not the first incident where people have done this. This government is not keeping Victorians safe in my electorate, and I call on the minister. Will the minister work with Victoria Police to ensure that there are additional police personnel patrolling our streets in the Latrobe Valley to ensure that people can get to the supermarket and home safely?
