Newman lying about crime stats
Jan 9^th, 2015 at 7:36pm

For about a year now, Newman has repeatedly been claiming crime rates as having fallen, during his term, by considerable rates. One of his favourite claims is that assaults and theft have dropped by 25% ... Newman is a lying sack of sheat. He's been cherry picking stats from various locals and pretending they apply across the state

While some crimes have dropped, such as robberies by 1.7% and assault by 4%... not the 25% he claims, other crimes have in fact gone up, such as extortion up 70%, Weapons offences up 36.7 per cent , drug related up 40% and Armed robbery up over 18%

When will the libs stop lying to us?
