1447 was from May 2008 to May 2009. 1254 may be from entire 2009. I agree there.

72% conviction rate for Native victims:ohmy: that's damn good. And what about the other half, Indian victims.

Please provide source also.

Media is doing wonderful job by bringing reality into front. At least now people know that a problem exists, hopefully actions will be taken to fix it :thumbup:

We always blame media of sensationalism, greed, apathy, etc.. but it has a positive side also. Kudos to Australian media :thumbup:

May all those hoodlams who live on snatched money and take pleasure in showing their manhood by bashing innocents get locked up for life. Hope they are no more released after warnings just to commit another crime.

So are the courts, who will not permit certain names to be published in newspapers, but will permit other names.

It is only reasonable for a newspaper to provide a little bit of "background history" or context when they name a person. But why do they only provide these kind of details for some people, yet they miss them out entirely for others? If the accused had been "mary, 23, originally from the UK and training to be a nurse" - would we have found out? Of course not, because the media in this country is by and large, terrible.

No. I think its business competitiveness which favours active and smart workers. Active ones take the jobs, lazy ones remain jobless. So lazy ones have two 2 options
1. Eliminate the active ones (Migrants or otherwise)
2. Snatching money is easier than earning it esp when no ones is watching ;)

Joblessness (increase in lazy ones) due to recession has compounded the above explained problem.

Again there's no generalization here. I talking of only those jobless who live on drugs and loot and don't want to work.
