Community safety needs to be enhanced in Hobsons Bay, says Western Metropolitan MLC Trung Luu (pictured).
\u201cData shows a 31 per cent increase in crime in the area, which has a direct impact on residents going about their daily activities, especially with the increase in daylight attacks.
\u201cTo make things worse, council reports a growing crisis in local police staffing, with 20 to 30 vacancies in the area.
\u201cI received correspondence from the mayor
of Hobsons Bay highlighting the urgency of the situation and detailing a distressing incident in Williamstown where a 92-year-old lady was violently assaulted and knocked unconscious in broad daylight outside her local Coles.
\u201cMy question to the minister is: can he please update my constituents on the police resources invested and initiatives to target community safety across the Hobsons Bay area?
\u201cEvery Victorian, regardless of age or postcode, deserves to feel safe in their neighbourhood,\u201d Mr Luu said.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
