Melbourne-style concrete bollards will appear on the Geelong waterfront as part of boosted safety measures for one of the city’s busiest periods.

What is happening to our country? Pauline Kaye

Paint the bollards to look like Minecraft blocks. Chris Alston

Communist BLOCK rising in our once great land. Dan Berry

Not even close ... try neo liberalism. Pete Herakovic

Ugly or not if they save lives so be it as unfortunately this is the world we now live in. Mark Jaremenko

Didn’t really work in Melbourne did they? Zachary Watson

We shouldn’t need them. But thanks to our weak government we keep importing terrorists! Against the wishes of the people. Andrew Stanley

Melbourne style? Matt Ingram

Yeah, and you saw how well they worked. Leigh Kirkpatrick

Sad it has to come to this. Kevin Leon Lyon

I was wondering when this was going to happen here in Geelong. Sign of the times when anyone can mow down crowds in their car. Very sad. Gerald Grech

It’s a block of concrete. Some perspective, people. Scotty Daniel

But the bikes will fit through those. Brian Spooner

So a block of concrete is going to stop someone on foot with a backpack full of explosives, a machete, crowbar or gun ... makes sense. And these concrete bollards are not ‘fixed’. Overseas studies, where they are in place, has proven that a vehicle driving at even 50km/h can move them. Joanne Suseto
