Big failure on crime

- MICK WARREN, Townsville.

DUE to the complete incompeten­ce of this inept pathetic Queensland Labor government, car stealing and crime goes on and on and on.

Every day on Facebook, that is, every day no exceptions, we can see photos and a list of cars that have been stolen that day or that night.

Honestly, it is so hard to believe that this is happening to Townsville and has been going on for so long.

How on Earth can this mob we call a government allow so much crime to continue without hardly a whimper from them? The three local reps that are often referred to as ‘the three blind mice’, are convenient­ly silent on this issue. Probably because their boss has told them to be silent and don’t bring crime up at any time. Weak as water – everyone of them. But because they all value their very lucrative income so much and will not rock the boat under any circumstan­ces, and I can’t blame them, as looking after number one 1 is paramount. But a little more effort would be beneficial to themselves and us neglected and forgotten law-abiding citizens.

This week a young family lost both their cars, and would obviously be devastated and traumatise­d along with the hundreds of other stolen car victims and victims of crime over so many years. So what will this government do about it? What will the Police Minister and the Police Commission­er do about it? Nothing.

They will all bury their heads in the sand after telling us to hide our keys and lock up our houses.

What an absolute heap of codswallop. Lock up all the criminals, not the law abiders. Once again shame on every politician for caring only about themselves and their personal future and not having any thoughts about the people that they are supposed to serve. You are all a disgracefu­l mob.

Please correct me if I am wrong, but to my knowledge I have never heard of a victim of crime receiving government compensati­on for the loss of property or trauma committed against them. The Government is 100 per cent responsibl­e for the rampant crime and its complete failure to curb the issue.

Shame on all you politician­s. Every one of you are as weak as water and don’t deserve to call yourselves the honourable minister.
