Gang-related shootings, stabbings and the use of firearms in general – including against our police – have become disturbingly normal. Firearm-related offences are nearly double that of just 10 years ago. And family violence is also sadly on the increase. Family First has released a short video clip to highlight the urgency of this issue. The focus always seems to be on the interest and well-being of the criminal and no mention of the rights and welfare of victims. It’s time we stopped being soft on crime, because crime is tough on families.
