Quite the pandemonium …
Apr 28^th, 2026 at 11:48pm

…. Here in our locality….15 police cars, police dog, police chopper, ambo chopper, and more…
Someone in Yarra junction was stabbed but not sure if alive… perp ran off and there was a search.
Me goes round checking all doors and windows locked!

Amazing how many police gathered in one area when needed! Didn’t think we had that many in our Valley.
The local guy in Croydon recently at night had no police attend after his house broken into and he was cut up with machete.
So why is it any different tonight?

Latest news now he’s been caught…so I’m going to bed now not worried.

Wow.

What is it about Victoria?

"The Place To Be"? I think it should be more like "The Place To Be Getting Away From".

Which reminds me - there was a talk show on one of our radio stations a few years ago and one day they had a road safety expert as a guest and they invited people to phone in with questions for him.

One guy called up and said the reason why WA has so many bad drivers is because a lot of them have come from Victoria.. lol.

Then he commented on the Victorian car number plate slogans.

"Victoria - On The Move". He said: "Yeah, they're all moving to WA".

And -

"Victoria - The Place To Be" and he said: "Then why are they all moving to WA"?

Oh, I just found this, the guy stabbed has died. Not good.

Police in Victoria say one person has died following a stabbing at Yara Junction on Tuesday night.

Over two dozen police cars and ambulances were sent to a scene near the Cunningham Pub in Yarra Junction for a report of an assault involving a weapon. Officers located a subject suffering from serious stab wounds. The person was transported to a hospital where they passed away shortly after.

After a search, the perpetrator was located in the area of Linden Ave, Yarra Junction, and taken into custody without further incident. No identities were immehhhhdiately released by investigators.

May be because it is election year in Vic?

Aaahh that’s makes sense!
Victoria of late has had to get new recruits, and asked retired or ex cops to comeback into the the force because of dwindling numbers and how crime sprees have been on the rise around Melbourne/metro and outer burbs.
So was a good practice run last night for 2 dozen cop cars.

The victim may have, or be, a relative of someone, who has social 'seniority' [politically].

e.g.
Be a relative of a member of parliament, etc.

Not a common 'bogan'.

There’s a stabbing or murder or assault or violent home invasion by the dozen in south east Queensland.

Or the Sunshine Coast in Queensland

( they tend to be more child predators related?).

So Victoria isn’t so bad.

It’s amazing what goes unreported in our mainstream media.

The truth doesn’t help housing prices or politicians popularity if published.

This is why they HATE social media.

They can’t control it
