Introduce Glass Windows Policy now! Due to its implementation by former Mayor, Rudy Giuliani, New York has become the second safest city in the US, something beyond many people's expectation. No crime is too small, no matter what the age, sex, religion and race of the offender is. Big crime starts from small crime!

What happened last week is just the beginning of the doom of Melbourne, the most liveable City of the world. Police says similar incidents happened in other suburbs on occasion, but what has the police done to curb such disturbance from recurring so far?

Compounding this is the gangland shooting in Carlton yesterday. Bad news spread quickly, with the aid of almost instantaneous international news broadcast and social media. The once very safe Melbourne will soon be less attractive to overseas tourists.

No one should be above the laws. Laws should not work around these hooligans, but all Australians and immigrants must abide by the Australian laws.

Sack Them Now!

Once upon-a-time, Australia was young and innocent, and the word "corruption" was rarely heard of. Many Australian were pointing fingers at Indonesia, China, developing countries in Asia, Africa, South America, etc. Those were the good old days when Australian politicians stood tall, representing the people honourably and with great dignity.

Australian newspapers of recent years are having a ball reporting corrupt politicians taking money directly or bribes disguising as political donations, junket tours, misusing public funds or taxpayers' money, using official credit cards for personal use including visiting brothels.

I really like to see no one, including politicians, be exempted from punishment for lack of judgement intentionally and lack the duty of care, and that the punishment should be severe enough to curb future copy cats.

Politicians should receive punishment twice that of a normal citizen making the same offence or committing the same crime.

On 24 September 2013, the Melbourne City Council adopted a Councillor Code of Conduct. It seems some of the Councillors never read the document, or they join many illiterate Australians who can read words but cannot understand the content. They do not deserve to represent the people, and should be sacked with all future entitlements stripped.

A fresh by-election should be called to replace them as soon as practicable.
