Police on Tuesday declared the CBD, Docklands, Southbank, the sporting and entertainment precinct and parts of East Melbourne and South Melbourne as a “designated area” from Sunday, until 29 May 2026. Continue reading...

These are not the right people to solve domestic violence - they misdentify victims and even help perpetrators as in Hannah Clarke's tragic case.

If Chris Minns stubbed his toe, he'd say the answer is more police powers.
Cops aren't the solution to racism, they're the problem.
It's already a crime to incite hatred based on race, but the cops didn't care - in fact they approved the Form 1 for the rally!

A demarcation dispute b/w predatory ICE thugs and predatory non-ICE thugs is an ugly thing to witness eh.
New: The FBI is quietly urging ICE agents to properly ID themselves in the field.
In a bulletin to law enforcement last month, it warned of criminals posing as ICE to rob, rape, kidnap—a problem it says now demands national coordination to confront.
