the Drunken Slur

We all want a safer community. We want to be able to go out with our partners, friends and families without being affronted by the drunken and sometimes intimidating antics of others. But really, does Nathan Rees truly believe that police need new powers to curb anti-social behaviour, or is it not patently obvious that this is the next move in his strategy to show the Government as tough on crime?

I am unconvinced that the police cannot take action now, if they feel inclined. My guess is that they will do what they have always done, assuming they are available at the time, they will make a judgement call as to whether the behaviour warrants action and whether or not they are inclined to use their precious time for that incident.

If slurring and antisocial behaviour is to be targetted, there will be many in the politics who should be worried. One good thing about the "get tough" on law and order that we are currently going through is that it fits nicely with other policies on recycling in NSW.
