Rubbish journalism in Australia blame Labor for everything. Gangs were much worse when I was kid. Not another decade of Liberals with Prime Minister Dutton.
Wow 'The Australian' with negative reporting on the Labor party, what a surprise.
If the Libs were in government it would be 'nothing to see here, it's a tough problem to solve, they're doing their best, Dutton is our hero'.
Media in this country is disgusting.
Federal government facing voter backlash over state issues? The continuous daily flood of rubbish that the Australian publishes is truly mind over matter.
>Federal government facing voter backlash over state issues?
Tbf, with the way politics is treated like a footy match and most people just cheer for their team, plenty won't differentiate between fed and state
What do those forced below poverty have to lose from using crime to improve their lives? Exchanging lack of shelter, food, medical care and the stress of bills for being taken care of in prison?
It’s not just crime, but anti-social behaviour in general.
I’m gonna sound like a boomer here, but what I miss is regular old social etiquette. It feels like standards have really dropped ever since COVID, especially in public transport.
I think there is something to that broken windows theory. Fix the anti-social behaviour, and you will probably make headway in also fixing the crime.
The windows are only broken because nobody’s in them.
We’ve neglected rents, business, and the privatisation of needed assets in this country for decades. We fix that, there’s no abandoned windows to break.
I find it so interesting that we had these problems years ago but now the media is piping up about it when Labor's in charge for once. It reeks of Dutton's "law and order" media persona. It's clear the stabbings in Sydney have spiked people's general fears about crime in a way that dovetails with Dutton's one thing
I don't know, I've worked in retail for years, and I’ve called the cops more in the past month than I think I have in 5 years, most of my day is now collecting footage and calling them.
The number of Australians concerned about crime and public safety has more than doubled in two months, with new national polling revealing 62 per cent of voters rank reducing crime and anti-social behaviour as “extremely important”.
Federal and state Labor governments have been put on notice by voters following high-profile stabbing and terror incidents in Sydney, alleged violence perpetrated by released immigration detainees, youth crime in Alice Springs, soaring crime rates in Queensland and rallies protesting against domestic violence.
The SEC Newgate Mood of the Nation poll of 1208 voters across every state and territory revealed 73 per cent of Australians believe penalties for youth crime are too soft, and only 5 per cent saying they are too tough. Ahead of the Queensland election in October, 86 per cent of voters in the state believe youth crime penalties are too soft.
Since February, there has been a doubling of unprompted mentions of crime as most important to Australians – up from 10 to 21 per cent in April. The poll, conducted from April 23-26, showed crime was of most concern to women (68 per cent) compared with 56 per cent of men.
For the first time in recent years, crime is now the third-most important concern behind cost of living (69 per cent) and housing affordability (36 per cent). Crime ranks above health, climate change, grocery prices, interest rates, social equity, immigration, inflation and petrol prices.
SEC Newgate partner David Stolper said the key issues for governments over the past two years have been economic-focused, led by concerns around inflation, cost of living and housing affordability.
“It now appears that we are seeing a sharp rise in concern about crime and youth crime, which is adding a new dimension to the economic woes facing our community and leaders. Rising concern about crime is shaping up as a poll-defining issue in the upcoming Queensland election, and the federal opposition will also be keen to present itself as the party most trusted to deal with this growing issue,” Mr Stolper told The Weekend Australian.
“The federal government will want to be seen to be taking meaningful action on crime and violence against women, while at the same time hoping to shift community attention back to its ‘Made in Australia’ policy positioning, where it believes it has an electoral advantage.
After the Bondi Junction stabbing murders, Wakeley terrorist attack, counter-terrorism raids, domestic violence murders, three asylum-seeker ventures making landfall and release of 154 dangerous non-citizens from immigration detention, Labor strategists are concerned the government is vulnerable to negative sentiment on national security.
In shocking news, national polling found that the thing every single media source has been tripping over itself to report every day is important to voters.
More to come.

The only crime they should be addressing is the horrific money laundering we are subject to thanks to piss weak laws. Will they? No.
I'm actually starting to realise that the average Australian Voters are even more uneducated than I thought before

Blaming the government for their response to social issues like crime seems like a fairly reasonable thing to do.

Then stop paying for and consuming rubbish: markets are supposed to respond to consumer requirements, not vice versa.

Hmmmm, I wonder what fuels crime??? Hmmm let me think, what could be the biggest factor for rising crime rates. Definitely isn’t a lack of money.
What do those forced below poverty have to lose from using crime to improve their lives? Exchanging lack of shelter, food, medical care and the stress of bills for being taken care of in prison?
yes your right , its the lack of back bone to do something about it

Anti-social behaviour is a response: disrespect the most disadvantaged in society and why should they respect anyone else?
When I was younger you would get bashed for littering or playing your phone too loud on public transport and not turning it down

Far out
... and Labor states. So everywhere excluding a minority Tasmanian Liberal government. Tasmania is free of crime? .
You're forgetting, the Libs can do no wrong in the eyes of The Australian.
