I don’t even know what to SAY when Baillieu starts in on this shit. ARMED GUARDS?! I mean, honestly! What do people think this city is like? Melbourne isn’t some giant South Central LA/Detroit in the 80s hybrid. GODDAMNIT you fucking fear mongering cunt.
‘It is expected that only the first 50 of the total 940 PSOs will be on the network by the end of the year.
WHAT! How long are ya’ll expecting to stay? And wait a second, major upgrades to 20 stations just got scrapped. You know what seems better? Stations with lights that work, lines that run on time and HELPFUL customer service. Cunts with guns uhhh not so much. Culture of fear, douche bag.
“Armed guards with semi-automatic guns on every train station platform”
I don’t really have much to add since Erin has already done a pretty good job of pointing out the ridiculousness of this whole thing, but Jesus Christ… how did we even get to this point? Where an idea like this is being seriously put forward by the Premier of our state? Semi-automatic guns… fuck. me.
This is fucked.
Who will police the “police”?!
