ANDREWS GOVERNMENT FAILS TO STOP THE THUGS

-

HERE we go again, let’s not sugar coat this, and before all the do-gooders get on there high horse, remember you are a big part of this problem so I suggest you zip it for once in your life. These thugs running wild in suburbia are mostly Sudanese refugees, who came here for a better life. Lisa Neville is beating the same drum but doing nothing to fix the problem. Tougher laws maybe Lisa. An 18year-old thug belongs in real jail, not juvenile holiday camps, so legislate this. It’s not that hard. Listen to the people not the do-gooders. Parents must take responsibi­lity for their own children and educate them on the laws in Australia. Let’s see how this would work: teenage refugee assaults carjacks and robs someone, the courts let them out and they do the same thing over and over. In the US if a young refugee commits serious crime they are locked up in juvenile jail and when they turn 18, they are deported with one of their parents. This message needs to be sent to these thugs: We don’t want you here if you can’t live by the laws of Australia. As for the Andrews Government, there were three priorities you needed to fix in Victoria. Crime, public roads and utility pricing — you have done nothing on any of these things. A change is coming and it’s a pity we have to wait till November. I would put all the politician­s and dogooders in stocks on the steps of Parliament House and throw rotten fruit at them.
