On January 2 in JJ Holland Park, Kensington, a man in his 50s with a shaved head shouted ‘All you poofters need to get the f**k out of Kensington’ at JOY FM newsreader Brad Cresswell and his group, calling them perverts.
Victoria Police released CCTV and called it a prejudice-motivated offence against the LGBTQIA+ community, urging tips to Crime Stoppers.
Critics online, including Tommy Robinson and Craig Kelly, slammed the focus, pointing to record crime like a 12.3% rise in incidents to 483,313 last year, exploding machete attacks up fourfold, and daily weapon seizures averaging 44.
Police insist they probe all reports and won’t tolerate hate.
