There has been an alarming rise in crime across Victoria which has just hit the highest level on record. The police union says officers now don't stand a chance against criminals as they make almost 200 arrests a day. youtu.be/cAYAwxUI6pI @SaraJones_7 #7NEWS

Victoria Police is being hauled before the federal court in a dramatic escalation to a long-running pay dispute. The union says officers have been robbed of millions of dollars for doing unpaid work. youtu.be/5hnbINAZJJo @NickMcCallum7 #7NEWS

Fed-up Victorian police are being lured north to Queensland as their pay fight here deepens. Officers walked off the job again today giving 7NEWS an insight into the danger of working on the front line. youtu.be/6RaOX_D-3as @EstelleGriepink #7NEWS

Police haven't ruled out more strike action after officers walked off the job for the first time in a quarter of a century. But the government isn't budging on a new pay deal, saying what's on the table is more than generous. youtu.be/TcA0SQk6emM @cassiezervos #7NEWS

More than 400 police have walked out of the academy, fighting for better pay and better work conditions. It follows 18 months of failed negotiations, with the matter now with the Fair Work Commission. @7NewsMelbourne

Rank and file Victoria police will walk off the job on Thursday as they run out of patience over stalled pay talks. Their anger is now likely to grow.. after their New South Wales counterparts today landed a wage rise of up to 40 percent. @heidimur #9News

The premier has been accused of prioritising train stations over police officers as they ramp up their pay fight. Officers will walk off the job for the first time in 25 years saying they are at breaking point. youtu.be/JwqvYJZoeMQ @SharnelleVella #7NEWS

The acting premier has made a rare threat to police over their prolonged pay fight. In a thinly veiled warning, Tim Pallas told the police union to settle the dispute soon before it ends up in the Fair Work Commission. youtu.be/4ZKcDllJQRY @RoryDCampbell #7NEWS

Tim Pallis 4 days as acting leader and wants to go down I’m tough mode. Victorians only see you as the treasurer who has led us into financial oblivion. Paying for events that didn’t happen, overblown major projects and no $ for our police.

Emergency Workers met yesterday in Warrnambool to discuss how all three organisations are actively attacking their conditions in the workplace and how they can support each other. Why is the State Labor Government putting First Responders Last? #springst #solidarity

The unfolding tragedy in Bondi Junction is hard to comprehend. We mourn the tragic loss of innocent lives and acknowledge the bravery and service of the NSW police officer who prevented further loss of life through her actions. Today, like every day, you made a difference.

A message from TPAV Secretary, Wayne Gatt:  We are deeply saddened to learn of the passing of Les Twentyman.  Les was a stanch advocate and champion of the most disadvantaged young people in our community, particularly in Melbourne’s west.
