Townsville more dangerous than Brazil, Colombia and Mexico.
It's not just the Bulletin bashing it up - you guys are world famous
https://www.9news.com.au/national/townsville-news-youth-crime-problem-has-city-listed-as-hotspot/de3773f5-f92a-4f9d-8777-2af8acc62e2e
Needless to say, I didn't renew it...
Neighbour was broken into 4 times in 9 months. 3 in 6 months seemed to be a common theme when I was there. There's an undercurrent of scumbags that prey on those who do the right thing - that is, dare leave their house on a regular basis to go to work. Create a pattern, and you are an absolute sitting duck.
I've been to plenty a town and city Australia wide. But there's one thing about "The Ville" that just stands out. There is no middle class....
To begin with, I was a bit naive and slightly taken back. Doesn't the average Joe care? Can't they see what's going on around them? What if it was their daughter that was assaulted? The whole population can't be scumbags, can they? Well, in the case of Townsville, they are.
It turns out that the bulk of the descent folk fled the joint years ago. Those who are left are too scared to speak out, or as the case of some of those on this website are living in the 1980's. Drugs are rife, crime is out of control and the Aboriginal community are untouchable in the eyes of the law...
Either you live in a luxury pad up on the hill, are a local who turns a blind eye and are hence granted protection, or you will be the next victim.
Townsville is not that bad when you consider what happens in the Capital cities.
Australians now live in the safest environment ever, by a mile. Australia is a country where you get stripped search at train stations, drug tested at random on the side of the road and can go to jail for having a slingshot or being in a pub with a bikie tattoo.
The more we complain the more ridiculous and embarrassing laws we will have. We are allready known as the worlds greatest nanny state and the more we complain the worse it will get.
On top of that the Police target them because of race.
What Townsville needs are the Dondale Commissioners to mediate with the kids who get treated unfairly and then must resort to breaking white man's law to get food or transport. The statistics show there is a problem with the Police classifying social issues as a crime.
I haven’t even started on the job rate cause it’s so shocking that we don’t need one. Their are more kids in Townsville that have to food or clothes cause all their money is from the Government. Their is almost 0% chance of getting a job after 30 if you have never been to uni or have a degree that you have used.
Overall I would say that Townsville is one of the worst towns in Australia for ‘gang’ violence and crime. Best of luck to anyone how has to move here.
You think "rich " people are going to fix the problem ?
People dont work there guts out all there life and retire to giver it away ,when means tested they dont get a pension like some.
Low IQ Bogans is not the word ;
We where only here 6 months and had our 1st home invasion....lots and lots of scumbags here
usually high unemployment goes hand in hand with high crime rates.
The wealthy people can think of somebody besides themselves surely.
please help solve the crime and unemployment problems.
