Crime Levels: Statements.
We need imaginative responses to community needs. We need to provide more facilities for teenagers. I am very interested in the Minister's proposal regarding café type pubs. That would be a good initiative. Teenagers do not have anywhere to go and are hanging around the streets. They cannot go to the local pub, where the facilities are not suitable. Most teenagers are well-intentioned. We are in a modern society with a supposedly healthy economy, and we need to do more in that regard.
