Drunks propel rise in violent crimes! But who promotes drinking really?

Every day NSW police deal with more than 300 violent offences committed by people who are drunk and they say the number is rising. But they don't say because the government promotes alcohol and only alcohol.

Governments, who promote only alcohol as a legal social drug are narrow-minded greedy people with a shallow ideology in terms of the variety of substances that could be available to prevent binge drinking. Having more choices is what prevents people taking the same substance over and over again.

Taking the same substance over and over again only promotes abuse of the same substance. We have one heavily taxed and promoted (drug) substance and a government who maintains that: social drinking is the only legal drug to escape life's bitterness?

But the Australian Government the same people who take the tax has an interest in it and now you have a problem with it and so do they!

Many violent offences are occurring around pubs, bars and clubs a factor that has contributed to assaults doubling in the past 10 years, according to Bureau of Crime Statistics figures.

The Police Commissioner, Ken Moroney, yesterday announced police were making alcohol-related crime a priority ahead of the Premier's Alcohol Summit planned for later this year.

Pubs and clubs say they are already doing the right thing when serving alcohol and would be working closely with police.

But the head of the National Drug Research Institute, Tim Stockwell, said licensees could do much to reduce the chances of violence because of alcohol, although he agreed their strategies had improved in recent years.

Management in licensed venues could reduce crowding and "sexually permissive behaviour", ensure bouncers were trained in defusing violence, and insist bar staff did not serve those who were intoxicated, he said.

"In places where anything goes, there is a high risk of violence," Professor Stockwell said.

A recent survey had shown drinkers are rarely refused another drink even if they show signs of intoxication.

But the head of the Australian Hotels Association, John Thorpe, said hoteliers were "leading the way in responsible service of alcohol". They had also embraced measures to deal with unsociable behaviour, such as lock-outs and liquor accords. He suggested bar staff should have to take courses about serving alcohol every three years to keep up to date.

According to figures from the Department of Gaming and Racing, 67 cases related to intoxication were prosecuted in the licensing court in the past year.

A spokeswoman for Mr Moroney said that in the year to February, police dealt with almost 120,000 cases of assault, sexual assault, malicious damage and domestic violence related to alcohol abuse.

More than two-thirds of all incidents attended by police - and an even higher percentage in cases of domestic violence and street offences - were related to alcohol. Operation Vikings had shown that alcohol-related crime had risen in the past 12 months. Newcastle had been identified as a hot spot. Recent research had shown alcohol was a factor in 31 per cent of road deaths. Last year 72,000 people nationwide were admitted to hospital because of alcohol.

New laws to crack down on bikies

NEW laws may be introduced in South Australia to stop motorcycle gangs becoming involved in security firms, amid concerns the companies are being used as fronts for criminal operations.

South Australian Attorney-General Michael Atkinson says the gangs are suspected of organising friendly crowd controllers at pubs and clubs, giving them the chance to sell drugs at the venues.

"What we suspect is that a particular motorcycle gang became involved in this area and, we think, purchased a firm supplying security agents, that they lined up a whole lot of people who were cleanskins with no criminal record to act as the licensed security agents . . . our suspicion is they were improperly influenced by the bikie gang," Mr Atkinson said.

He rejected suggestions police were unwilling to tackle the gangs because they feared retribution. [Or they work with police!]

"Police have tackled bikie gangs head on they have a special operation, Operation Avatar, to deal with them."

It is understood at least four gangs are involved in two Adelaide-based security companies and two nightclubs. The security businesses act as a legitimate front for laundered money from bikie-related drug dealings and other criminal activity, and bringing the gangs closer to illegal drug consumers.

"It gives them better access to clientele and even to the younger customers," a source said. The gang-run security firms often targeted under-age functions because youth were considered "more dependable customers", the source said.

But it was impossible to link the gangs to the security firms because they employed people with clean records to run their businesses. "These cleanskins the majority of them are good people, it's just that they're bankrolled by these people and it's good money."

Security Institute president Stephen Tribbins said the institute met police every two months to discuss issues of concern, and gang involvement had been raised.

"I understand there is one documented case where a bikie gang became involved in a crowd-control company, and we did pass that on to the police," he said.

Differences in licensing systems from state to state caused the industry problems, Mr Tribbins said. In South Australia, a state police check was required for people seeking a licence.

"It might be better for someone like the Australian Federal Police to have control of that," he said.

A spokesman for Justice Action in Sydney says the bikies have gone further than that in New South Wales, Gregory Kable said "The Rebels bikie group are in the police force and I have the evidence to support that". Take the case of Stephen William McDowell dedicated 17 years of his life serving as a NSW police officer." He said.

The Daily Telegraph reported on 5 Sep 02 that "McDowell served in the elite Tactical Response Group"."He is president, Rebel OMCG" (outlaw motorcycle gang).

Same boat

The Premier, Bob Carr, relies on a militia. A gang of bikies and our Police Service, to show all of us he is no murderer. He should be taken to the task along with his partners in crime like Clive Small to account for those people who like my self have been maliciously assaulted and who have complained, without any service and those who cannot speak for themselves who were murdered, like Terry Falconer. Terry murdered in custody.

Deeds
I am disturbed by Governments 'actions' in relation to shuffling the police service. Clive Small seconded into Parliament like a cocky in a perch. A breach of the fundamental Separation of Powers Doctrine does not in my view allow the thought of intervening, planning, or shuffling to stack the deck of our police service. The one that suppose to be autonomous according to Lord Denning. Where the Parliamentary Secretary can ask the commissioner of police to 'report' then sack him if he is not satisfied with such report.

Truth
Who is telling the truth? Well I guess Dr. Ed. Chadbourne or Mr. Peter Ryan may have the answer to that. Dr. Chadbourne sacked by Peter Ryan and more specifically in my view because he elected deputy commissioners Dave Madden and Andrew Scipione as the best men in the service in relation to his qualifications to make a recommendation in his capacity as human resources.That is if you believe that a Dr. can be corrupted.

Honesty
What is happening between the Police Service and politics is quite extraordinary at the moment. If stand over tactics don't work tell half the truth honestly and follow the example of sheep.

Clive Small is Bob Carr's choice for the new Police Commissioner. It could only be the case considering his, Small's special appointment into Parliament House. Small who suffers from the little person syndrome is the ideal bend over boy who gets shuffled through his corrupt actions. Rolling the legal system for him after the fact, just like his predecessor Roger the dodger Rogerson.
