There are a lot of camps on this green belt. They are massive and they are extremely dirty. We're making our way through the entirety of the green belt to map it and see what's here.

Criminals have no remorse for their victims and are being emboldened by the "reimagined" justice system and soft on crime approach across the state and country. This has to stop. Criminals need to fear being caught and facing the consequences. We need harsher penalties.
