Constituency questions
Southern Metropolitan Region
Southern Metropolitan Region
Georgie CROZIER (Southern Metropolitan) (14:09): (1342) My constituency question is for the attention of the Minister for Police, and it is a really important issue. On 20 January I attended a community walk down Fitzroy Street into Acland Street with hundreds of people from the St Kilda community. It was the City of Port Phillip for Cops community walk, and their message was for the Victorian government: ‘We need what matters done.’ These residents and the traders do not feel safe. They do not feel safe in their homes, they do not feel safe in their communities, and they are asking for greater police presence. They are asking for CCTV, to have some monitoring, so that the issues that are arising every single day can be dealt with. These are really significant. I am asking the police minister to provide the resources the community needs.
