An interesting news item worth discussing I thought...

That is certainly most surprising... When they first quoted 700 I thought that would have been Perth metro, then they said it was for the whole state!

It's disgraceful, and it's in no way a fault of the police officers themselves.
I've always thought we needed more police in WA, now this just backs it up

edit: just remembered something from a few years back, when I lived in Bunbury you would quite often notice on a weeknight that there were only two police cars for tasking... You'd hear the sargent asking one car to divert to another (more important) job because "the other car is tied up"

Bunbury is a police district housing about 60,000 people.
