If you are in the city tomorrow, come down to the Town Hall at 4.30pm for the Homelessness Speak Out prior to the council meeting. People with lived experience of homelessness will speak about why they have a right to exist in public spaces free from intimidation and harassment.

While this death is now being investigated by the Homicide Squad, (which is standard practice) transparent independent investigations are essential to maintaining community confidence in the police and justice system and ensuring tragedies are prevented.

This is just further evidence that VicPol engages in Racial Profiling. Our COVID-19 fines report proved that to be true. After looking at more than 30,000 fines, we found that racial profiling occurred during the pandemic.
