One man dead, one in critical after separate Melbourne stabbingsA man is dead and another in hospital with life-threatening injuries after separate stabbings in Melbourne. Melbourne will most likely lose its status as the world's most liveable city, if it hasn't done so already. A great city fast becoming a very violent place. Melbourne, Melbourne, Melbourne. I wonder if being the most egalitarian, diverse and liberal city in Australia is in some way related to bieng the violent city in Australia. If not, then why not.. Shouldn't the exact opposite be happening?
