Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull on Tuesday accused the premier of Victoria State, Daniel Andrews — a member of the opposition Labor Party — of failing to address the “growing gang violence and lawlessness” in his state after a recent series of well-publicized crimes by African-born offenders.
Peter Dutton, the home affairs minister, took to a Sydney radio station that same day and said that “political correctness” had rendered leaders in Victoria blind to the crime wave around them.
“We just need to call it for what it is: African gang violence,” he said. “The reality is, people are scared to go out to restaurants at nighttime because they’re followed home by these gangs.”
