Business owner calls out government’s claim to protect venues from arsonists

The Victorian state government has announced a $10 million Hospitality Security Fund in a bid to protect venues from arsonists following the ongoing firebombings across the state.

The Albion co-owner and WatchTower security app founder Dominic Porter told 3AW Mornings host Tom Elliott the government’s claim it is protecting venues from arson is simply not true.

“Honestly no, not by a long way and I think the clearest proof of that is seeing that it is still happening,” he said.
