Same sex marriage contradicts what modern human race believes in - back to nature and grows things organic! We don't need GM or laboratory grown living things. Why are human race moving forward in the wrong direction!

One of the determining criteria of an address of residence is NOT to be next to or within walking distance to commercial area, particularly where alcohol is served, sleazy entertainment provided or dim dark lanes only rodents would dare to roam at night.

I had written to local papers when they approved the construction of a new six-storey Karaoke bar with licence to open to 3 am warning that more trouble would be looming and organised gangs would flourish.

Unfortunately, peace has been around since the founding of Glen Waverley, and most people have never experienced what life is like when gangs start to carve up their turfs in an area. Basic instinct of wild animals is after all territorial, or rather the urge to occupy and own territories.

Brawl outside the Glen Waverley Karaoke club

I posted to Letters to Editor on Friday, 7 January 2011 regarding the Proposed Monash 6-storey Development.

I was looking into a crystal ball then. I was not scare mongering about the potential harm that could happen in the region if planning was not well thought out, allowing perceived city prosperity came before social harmony. The brawl outside the Glen Waverley karaoke club at 3 am 20/11/2011 that left six people injured is just the start.

Glen Waverley may be considered fairly affluent, and the good image can be tarnished easily in the future if drug traffickers use these commercial and entertainment venues to prey on the patrons and thugs start to claim their turfs. It is most unfortunate that cities in Melbourne metropolitan suffer from such fate and no solutions in sight!
