In 2004 the Coalition established the $65 million National Community Crime Prevention Programme to boost community safety and crime prevention by supporting local crime prevention initiatives and projects. Through this initiative, grants were provided for security-related infrastructure, including closed circuit television systems (CCTV), anti-hooning devices, and other initiatives to support the efforts of local communities to tackle crime. After the 2007 election, Labor scrapped the National Community Crime Prevention Programme, replacing it with a $15 million initiative called ‘Safer Suburbs’. To support the crime-fighting efforts of local communities and the states and territories, the Coalition will commit $50 million towards a full-blooded, sustained national approach to community crime prevention. If re-elected, the Coalition will deliver funding to the District Council of Mount Barker to support Council and volunteer anti-graffiti campaigns, such as the work of Neighbourhood Watch. The funding will assist the District Council of Mount Barker implement a range of anti-graffiti and vandalism measures such as the purchase of a dedicated anti graffiti truck, installation of closed circuit television security cameras (CCTV) and improved lighting in local hot-spots. This is an exciting initiative that will provide local Police and the District Council of Mount Barker, with the support of Neighbourhood Watch, the assistance needed to continue their fantastic work in keeping the local community safe.

The passion is understandable. We've been fighting issues surrounding the Murray for more than one hundred years, with failures in management brought to the fore by droughts and over-allocation of water. This election offers a contrast between the major parties in management of the Murray Darling Basin. To understand the path forward, we need to learn from the past. Increasing water extractions over decades left the system critically stressed when drought began to hit in 2002. Faced by rivers in crisis, but without constitutional powers to act, John Howard negotiated the National Water Initiative with Murray Darling states in 2004 to end over-allocation. Less than three years later, immensely frustrated at the slow progress, Howard declared enough was enough - it was time for national Murray Darling management. Announcing this historic step he said the Commonwealth was "assuming responsibility for a problem created by the states". Proposed reforms included a radical overhaul of water infrastructure, water buybacks and a new sustainable national plan to manage water extractions. In the months before the 2007 election he budgeted $10 billion to deliver this plan (incidentally, without going into debt). Labor never previously supported national management. After all, the Labor state governments were failing to act, despite their promises. While adopting this policy as their own, Labor's implementation of it since their election has let the Murray Darling down. Despite promising to "accelerate investment in all water saving infrastructure" Labor has never delivered on budgeted infrastructure spending. Penny Wong took months to appoint the Murray Darling Basin Authority, causing delay in the much anticipated national plan. And billions of the dollars budgeted have been granted to the states who messed the system up in the first place. Murray Darling reform needs to be put back on track. The Liberal Party started this process. We remain committed to it. If elected, Tony Abbott will finish the job without the delays, failures and uncertainty that have been the hallmark of Labor. The Murray Darling needs a national plan for water use, delivered by an independent national authority, with the teeth to act. A new Coalition Government would ensure the draft national plan is released for consultation as soon as possible. Australia must get on with re-plumbing the Murray Darling. Water for the environment is going begging because of a failure to deliver projects like re-engineering Menindee Lakes. More water is available by upgrading farming and irrigation systems. To keep producing Australian food, grown by Australian farmers, we need to help make farming in the Murray Darling sustainable. This is Australia’s most significant environmental priority and the Liberal Party is absolutely committed to ensuring that our great river is fixed. adminFri, 13 Aug 2010 04:27:00 GMTf1397696-738c-4295-afcd-943feb885714:402http://www.jamiebriggs.com.au/Mayo/MayoEvents/tabid/74/articleType/ArticleView/articleId/401/Day-9.aspx#Comments0http://www.jamiebriggs.com.au/DesktopModules/DnnForge%20-%20NewsArticles/RssComments.aspx?TabID=74&ModuleID=376&ArticleID=401http://www.jamiebriggs.com.au/DesktopModules/DnnForge%20-%20NewsArticles/Tracking/Trackback.aspx?ArticleID=401&PortalID=0&TabID=74http://www.jamiebriggs.com.au/Mayo/MayoEvents/tabid/74/articleType/ArticleView/articleId/401/Day-9.aspxDay 9 First thing this morning I was interviewed by Radio 5EFM about general election issues.

The cost of doing business on Kangaroo Island is unfairly higher because of the short gap of water between it and the mainland. While there has been evidence gathered, the case has not yet been made in a strong enough fashion for ongoing assistance. The Coalition is planning to run a responsible government which means ensuring that each ongoing spending commitment is made with a strong base of evidence. The funding to Regional Development Australia will be for it to engage with experts to strengthen the case for assistance for freight. Issues relating to passengers are in the realm of the State Government and will not be looked at by this funding. Importantly the community will drive the process. It is my expectation that a small group of community representatives, including Mayor Jayne Bates, will work alongside the RDA in ensuring the reports get the evidence needed to make the strongest possible case for assistance. I would expect that this work would be completed within nine months, reporting to government on its findings. I appreciate the urgent need for assistance for Kangaroo Island producers and I will continue to work to ensure that the assistance that is needed is finally realised.adminWed, 11 Aug 2010 22:47:00 GMTf1397696-738c-4295-afcd-943feb885714:398http://www.jamiebriggs.com.au/Mayo/MayoEvents/tabid/74/articleType/ArticleView/articleId/396/Day-10.aspx#Comments0http://www.jamiebriggs.com.au/DesktopModules/DnnForge%20-%20NewsArticles/RssComments.aspx?TabID=74&ModuleID=376&ArticleID=396http://www.jamiebriggs.com.au/DesktopModules/DnnForge%20-%20NewsArticles/Tracking/Trackback.aspx?ArticleID=396&PortalID=0&TabID=74http://www.jamiebriggs.com.au/Mayo/MayoEvents/tabid/74/articleType/ArticleView/articleId/396/Day-10.aspxDay 10 I headed to Hindmarsh Island early this morning to meet with Tony Abbott and other South Australian Parliamentarians where Tony announced that an elected Coalition Government would commit $750 million to a plan for the Murray-Darling Basin.   Here, I spoke with the media about this announcement.
