We Need a New Law on the Statute Books - Call It Property Rage
The Paul Sheehan article in the Sydney Morning Herald of 14th August
publicised a problem our State Government and police don't want to know
about - racial harassment that is driving people out of their homes in
some parts of Sydney.
The targets are typically elderly people in old houses that can be sold
practically at land value which make the property an attractive target.
The harassment is always verbal abuse, sexual epithets, racial jibes, cars
parked across their driveways, stones thrown on the roof, rubbish thrown
over the back fence or eggs thrown at the house, never actual bodily
violence.
The police uusally don't want know about it, don't want to get involved,
say they can't do anything without witnesses or dismiss it as a
neighourhood dispute.
This leaves the only effective method left to the victims being to apply
for an AVO against their harasser, which does work because the police
take notice of AVOs, however that needs money to pay a barrister and the
mental fortitude to face someone in court which the elderly victims don't
often have.
In most case they decide discretion is the better part of valour at the
time of their lives when all they want is peace and quiet and simply sell
up and move out
Therefore One Nation's solution is to put a new crime on the statute books
- Property Rage, which means calculated harassment of a person or their
property with the intention of making them sell up and move out, just as
we brought in Road Rage to deal with assaults on the road.
Multiculturalism was foisted on the Australian people without their
consent and now they are paying the price of their silence. It's time
Governments saw their error and adjusted the legal system to protect
their citizens.
