I just want to 254 00:10:31,080 --> 00:10:33,800 Speaker 3: know without the rising uth crime going on at the moment, 255 00:10:34,240 --> 00:10:37,960 Speaker 3: and what your thoughts are on that, and also how 256 00:10:38,000 --> 00:10:39,280 Speaker 3: they're getting bailed so quick. 257 00:10:40,080 --> 00:10:41,960 Speaker 2: Yeah, that seems to be the big concern. 258 00:10:42,720 --> 00:10:44,640 Speaker 6: I think everyone is sick and tired and agree with 259 00:10:44,679 --> 00:10:46,719 Speaker 6: me or disagree here Thomas, but I think everyone's sick 260 00:10:46,760 --> 00:10:49,800 Speaker 6: and tired of seeing offenders get caught doing something harsh 261 00:10:49,880 --> 00:10:51,880 Speaker 6: and finding out that they're actually already out on parole. 262 00:10:52,120 --> 00:10:54,439 Speaker 4: No, look, it is and that's why a couple of 263 00:10:54,480 --> 00:10:58,680 Speaker 4: months ago we announced that we've strengthening bail, the bail changes, 264 00:10:58,720 --> 00:11:01,800 Speaker 4: particularly for youth offenders here in Victoria put and the 265 00:11:01,880 --> 00:11:05,000 Speaker 4: legislation has already gone through the Parliament because we do 266 00:11:05,080 --> 00:11:07,440 Speaker 4: recognize that we have a particular issue. We do have 267 00:11:07,520 --> 00:11:10,360 Speaker 4: too many younger people. It's a smaller number, but it's 268 00:11:10,360 --> 00:11:11,480 Speaker 4: the repeat offenses. 269 00:11:14,160 --> 00:11:17,840 Speaker 5: And here, these repeat offenders do one too many and 270 00:11:17,960 --> 00:11:21,120 Speaker 5: bang they've killed someone innocently riding their bick to work. 271 00:11:21,240 --> 00:11:24,200 Speaker 4: And that's and that's horrific for the family and loved 272 00:11:24,240 --> 00:11:26,120 Speaker 4: ones of that person. And that is why we've done 273 00:11:26,120 --> 00:11:28,000 Speaker 4: a bunch. There's a bunch of things around this, but 274 00:11:28,040 --> 00:11:31,680 Speaker 4: particularly with a focus on strengthening that bail. So for 275 00:11:32,880 --> 00:11:34,359 Speaker 4: that's through the Parliament. 276 00:11:34,000 --> 00:11:36,760 Speaker 5: And are you're confident that will make a difference because 277 00:11:36,800 --> 00:11:41,160 Speaker 5: it feels like this problem is out of controlling Melbourne's. 278 00:11:40,520 --> 00:11:43,080 Speaker 4: Well just again, it's there's a number of things you've 279 00:11:43,080 --> 00:11:45,079 Speaker 4: got to do. There is a it's a smaller number 280 00:11:45,120 --> 00:11:47,360 Speaker 4: of young people and can I in terms of the 281 00:11:47,360 --> 00:11:52,080 Speaker 4: work that Vic Poldo they have every night overnight from 282 00:11:52,160 --> 00:11:55,600 Speaker 4: dust or dawn. They have dedicated police out on the street. 283 00:11:55,640 --> 00:11:58,240 Speaker 5: But I'm working with no doubt the police are doing 284 00:11:58,280 --> 00:12:01,120 Speaker 5: their bit. That's the issue. I think everyone knows the 285 00:12:01,160 --> 00:12:02,880 Speaker 5: police are doing their bit and then these kids are 286 00:12:02,880 --> 00:12:03,720 Speaker 5: getting out again. 287 00:12:03,760 --> 00:12:06,280 Speaker 4: And so we're dealing with the court issue in terms 288 00:12:06,320 --> 00:12:08,400 Speaker 4: of strengthening the bail, but we've also got to go 289 00:12:08,559 --> 00:12:11,640 Speaker 4: back and stop it before we get to this point, 290 00:12:11,720 --> 00:12:13,800 Speaker 4: which is why there's a huge amount of work going 291 00:12:13,840 --> 00:12:16,559 Speaker 4: on with police as well. How do we get these 292 00:12:16,600 --> 00:12:19,840 Speaker 4: young kids when they've done something more lower end and 293 00:12:19,960 --> 00:12:21,520 Speaker 4: get them away from that life. 294 00:12:21,760 --> 00:12:23,319 Speaker 6: Christ sticking with cops, I just want to go to 295 00:12:23,360 --> 00:12:25,000 Speaker 6: lily Dale.

And then when an ambulance 376 00:15:46,400 --> 00:15:47,760 Speaker 6: a right. This is the part that I found the 377 00:15:47,840 --> 00:15:51,600 Speaker 6: most frightening. It was one ambo. He was on his own, 378 00:15:52,000 --> 00:15:55,320 Speaker 6: so the only way they got her if we weren't there, 379 00:15:55,360 --> 00:15:56,960 Speaker 6: he wouldn't been able to get her on a stretcher, 380 00:15:57,080 --> 00:15:58,720 Speaker 6: get her into the ambulance to give a pain relief. 381 00:15:58,920 --> 00:16:01,960 Speaker 6: What's going on in the like in the country's biggest city, 382 00:16:02,080 --> 00:16:03,160 Speaker 6: how can we have that? 383 00:16:03,240 --> 00:16:05,800 Speaker 2: I'll be honest, I was so frustrated. 384 00:16:06,000 --> 00:16:08,760 Speaker 4: Yeah, look we and again our ambo's also do a 385 00:16:08,800 --> 00:16:11,080 Speaker 4: great job, and we've got more of them on the 386 00:16:11,160 --> 00:16:13,200 Speaker 4: road in fact than other in terms of head of 387 00:16:13,240 --> 00:16:16,120 Speaker 4: population than any other state. But that doesn't mean, you know, 388 00:16:16,200 --> 00:16:17,800 Speaker 4: we've got to stop there. There is a lot of 389 00:16:17,840 --> 00:16:21,160 Speaker 4: work that's also going on and how those calls that 390 00:16:21,200 --> 00:16:24,400 Speaker 4: are made, how they are their triage through the process, 391 00:16:24,480 --> 00:16:25,120 Speaker 4: because we know. 392 00:16:25,520 --> 00:16:27,160 Speaker 6: But then I've got a mate who's an AMBO officer, 393 00:16:27,200 --> 00:16:29,000 Speaker 6: and he will spend this is no jo.

They don't want 403 00:16:53,080 --> 00:16:55,240 Speaker 5: to be sitting there making small talk with someone.

And so it's actually quite concerning 449 00:18:50,720 --> 00:18:52,560 Speaker 7: to see the hours that they work and then the 450 00:18:52,560 --> 00:18:54,359 Speaker 7: next day they have to get up being mom, b 451 00:18:54,600 --> 00:18:56,840 Speaker 7: dad and then go back to work and work those 452 00:18:56,880 --> 00:19:00,600 Speaker 7: extensive hours again. And what they see on the shifts 453 00:19:00,600 --> 00:19:03,159 Speaker 7: and what they deal with to see it affect their 454 00:19:03,200 --> 00:19:05,760 Speaker 7: mental health sometimes, Like you know, when they've done back 455 00:19:05,800 --> 00:19:10,240 Speaker 7: to back shifts and they've been pretty bad shifts, they're burkout, 456 00:19:10,800 --> 00:19:14,720 Speaker 7: They're exhaust there, they're fatigued, they're stressed because they're like, oh, 457 00:19:14,760 --> 00:19:17,080 Speaker 7: I still got to do the paperwork or the reports 458 00:19:17,200 --> 00:19:21,840 Speaker 7: or and the mental toll on them, like they're just 459 00:19:21,880 --> 00:19:23,800 Speaker 7: so burnt out. Their mental health takes a bit of 460 00:19:23,800 --> 00:19:26,439 Speaker 7: a toll. So my real question is like what are 461 00:19:26,440 --> 00:19:28,360 Speaker 7: you doing to support these work is because they are 462 00:19:28,440 --> 00:19:30,520 Speaker 7: under staff they're taking on the extra load and ye 463 00:19:31,480 --> 00:19:35,480 Speaker 7: account and when yeah, when my team like is short staffed, 464 00:19:35,480 --> 00:19:37,840 Speaker 7: it's stressful.
