Melbourne Crime Crisis

Post by Black Orchid » Sun Aug 24, 2025 7:37 am

The doors swing open at a children’s courtroom in Melbourne and a stream of young offenders walk through parading Gucci jackets and shiny watches.

They slump in the front row as their heinous, violent crimes are read out. Home invasions, carjackings with machetes, police chases at more than 200km/h, threats to kill, unprovoked assaults.

They are the faces of the city’s youth crime wave, one that has spiralled so far out of control that Melbourne was this week compared to Johannesburg and Cape Town by a morning talkback host.

News.com.au this week watched as bail was granted to violent offenders inside Melbourne’s children’s courts despite police pleading to keep them remanded.

The Victorian Government overhauled bail laws earlier this year to make detention no longer a “last resort” for magistrates.

The National Children’s Commissioner Anne Hollands condemned the move, saying it would not make communities safer.

“Locking up these children does not rehabilitate them. It costs $1.3m per annum to lock up a child, and this is not making our community safer,” she said.

What's the answer?

Bring back 19th century British justice:

the stocks,
the cat of 9 tails,
the rope.

Two police officers have died and another has been wounded after a shooting at a property in Porepunkah, near Bright in Victoria's north-east.

Local man Dezi Freeman (below) is allegedly on the run with his wife and two children after being suspected of gunning down the two officers 'execution-style' at a farm on Rayner's Track near the base of Mount Buffalo in Victoria's alpine region on Tuesday.
