An example today of why we need open minds, fearless and competent defence advocates (as well as fearless and competent prosecutors) and no death penalty.

I imagine her defence lawyer is proud of that, I dont know how these buggers can sleep at night because it doesnt look like justice has been served here.Quote:

What we need is a full on real war on drugs. Most of the crime in this country comes from drugs. No one knows how to handle it. I was talking to the son of a mate, yesterday. There is a new estate, near the Kippering train station. Centrelink have moved a lot of their long term customers in to housing there. A 14 year old girl died from an overdose, and was dumped in a dumpster there. Another youth died in his car, from drugs, and was in it dead for a couple of weeks. A current affair is doing a story on this place, and the residents were told to not talk to them. Even if the stories are exaggerated, there would be a sliver of truth in them And then there is this....
Comedian Corey White stunned Q&A with details of his "horrific" childhood in foster care.

I see in the media today, Melbourne now has Muslim populated suburbs which are recommended as no go zones to "Aussies"?!!.....can you believe it,.....in Melbourne!!
Saw a program on TV last night about Dubbo,...same thing, places unwise to go, and MANY years ago when we went to Alice Springs, on the way up on the Ghan, a long time business owner gave us a few warnings.
What are we coming to?

Our tolerance is our downfall.
Yeah i grew up in dandy and went to school in noble park many many years ago. Was always a pretty tough place to live in dandenong. The Sudanese have definitely made parts of Dandenong a no go zone. And parts of Noble park as well. But once you give the "war torn country" story, your out on bail to do it all again.Quote:

For decades now state housing have no longer been building estates or suburbs which practice had created ghettos. Policy nowadays is to scatter public housing throughout the suburbs.Quote:
