Half of Aussie adults have been attacked

Half of Aussie adults have been attacked - :

"The Australian Bureau of Statistics released the results of the first national Personal Safety Survey on Thursday, which also found one in 10 men and one in 20 women had experienced physical violence or been threatened in the past year."

If you look at some of the statistics coming out, our country has become nastier and nastier and less and less safe. Why? It's been really noticeable how destructive we have become over the last 10 years and the last 3 have brought up some really harsh statistics, but still we insist we are okay and Australia is all right. Our kids aren't safe. We can't walk . In some places you can't park cars and people help themselves to your home contents. There have been horrible murders and nasty attacks and we think we are okay. WAKE UP. And do what this article is doing, break it down into age groups...It's not good enough. The respect and boundaries are lacking. We have to shift our cultural approach and create a society where we can move freely as we could...and you are wondering why Austrlians are going overseas and are staying there.
