The statistics are stark, but the labelling is confusing. The table is marked "Rate per 100,000" but they look like raw incidents, which makes more sense. Dandenong is a hub of much, but personal experience in Casey suggests crime is more significant. In two months in Hallam I had an ice addict who wanted to kill me and SWAT arrested a troublesome drug addict known to police. In Dandenong I see a loving family doing their best to eke out an existence. I have done over 200 km walking through Dandenong in the last two months. I don't believe there are twice as much crime per resident in Dandenong. But even so, the table illustrates failure from council planning. A 30% rise in crime since the last council election. And it is like a hockey stick. To be fair, Dan Andrews restrictions on policing do not help. One cannot hire enough to make up for the current ones being tied up and prevented from actively policing.
Don't accept excuses for councillors not addressing the issues. Crime is not the fault of any one thing. A suite of policies are needed to address it. Youth unemployment is too high. Business needs to have red tape cut. Public transport could be better. Garbage collection could be cheaper. Planning could be more effective. Dandenong is not over developed, or over policed. Shop workers do not feel safe. Car parking is restricted in zones reliant on trade.https://conservativeweasel.blogspot.com/2021/10/5th-oct-review-of-historical-and.html
Jingle bell, jingle bell, jingle bell rock
Jingle bells swing and jingle bells ring
Snowin' and blowin' up bushels of fun
Now the jingle hop has begun
Jingle bell, jingle bell, jingle bell rock
Jingle bells chime in jingle bell time
Dancin' and prancin' in Jingle Bell Square
In the frosty air
What a bright time, it's the right time
To rock the night away
Jingle bell time is a swell time
To go glidin' in a one-horse sleigh
Giddy-up jingle horse, pick up your feet
Jingle around the clock
Mix and a-mingle in the jinglin' feet
That's the jingle bell rock
Jingle bell, jingle bell, jingle bell rock
Jingle bell chime in jingle bell time
Dancin' and prancin' in Jingle Bell Square
In the frosty air
What a bright time, it's the right time
To rock the night away
Jingle bell time is a swell time
To go glidin' in a one-horse sleigh
Giddy-up jingle horse, pick up your feet
Jingle around the clock
Mix and a-mingle in the jinglin' feet
That's the jingle bell
That's the jingle bell
That's the jingle...

It is good, but here is my response
I've finished the first book for Bread of Life compilation for populist podcasters VivaFrei, AUS, The Duran and Bongino.
In the first volume, with quotes from months Jan to Apr, I write about how Australia came to be up to Federation.
In the 2nd volume I write about Australia from Federation to Menzies (Ming the Merciless)
In the third edition I write about Australia post Menzies.

I've pubished it in Hardcover too. Limited publishing because it is a non standard size to accommodate the amount of text.
