Hon MARK MITCHELL: Thank you, Madam Speaker. Not only do we start to see a rise in violent crime in 2017, but sitting right alongside that, we started to see a decrease in action being taken. So you had a rise in violent crime right through the country and, at the same time, arrests started to drop off and go down. And the reason for that is because the signals that were been sent from this Government to the police is that we don't want you making arrests. We don't want you dealing with this. We don't want you bringing people into the criminal justice system. And what you've done is you've overseen and created an environment for gangs to feel emboldened, for gangs to be able to get out there and take over public spaces, for gangs to be able to get out and abuse members of the public and ignore laws that other law-abiding members of the public have to stick to, and with gangs that are now regularly carrying firearms and are willing to use them. Our police officers every night and every day have to go out now and they have to face and deal with gangs and gang bangers that are carrying firearms and are willing to use them. And it's all happened under the watch of this Government.
