Certainly explains his disdain for that unemployed union group since better quality of life for the unemployed would potentially mean they become quicker and stronger making them harder to catch, but also possibly larger which could cause his jaw to lock up.

The only memory of Healthy Harold I have was this kid in our class ripped the puppet off the hand of the lady, and threw it on the ground and started to jump on it, whilst yelling something in Farsi (I think)

He broke an Australian criminal code law with irrefutable evidence, he's going to get hit with one or more of: deprivation of liberty, a civil suit and contempt of court. They have to charge him or the rule of law breaks down.

Is Harold really that healthy, going around in a van, talking to schoolkids about drugs but also dietary choices. And why was constable care both a puppet, a cartoon and a regular cop with a giant foam head?

Craig Kelly questions Victoria Police uniforms

A photo showing Victorian police responding to COVID-19 breaches has been shared on Facebook by Liberal MP Craig Kelly along with a caption questioning why the officers are wearing a different uniform to "regular Victoria police".

"Who are the people in the black uniforms with red 'Police' written on the back?" Mr Kelly asked.

https://m.facebook.com/CraigKellyMP/posts/1619676334893661

"Does anyone know why they are dressed differently from the regular Victorian police? Is it true that they don't display the officer's name on their uniform? Has anyone ever seen these uniforms on the streets before?"

Comments responding to Mr Kelly’s post suggest the red on the uniform marked the officers as part of the "Strong Cities Network", a coalition of cities working against violent extremism.
"Good question! We need answers," one comment reads. "Is this Chairman Dan's private security force / UN Strong Cities Force?"

So, what's the deal with the uniforms?

According to a Victoria Police spokeswoman, the uniform pictured is that of the force's Public Order Response Team (PORT).

"PORT regularly responds to planned and unplanned events which can include protests, or large scale sporting or entertainment events," the spokeswoman told Fact Check in an email.

"When officers from PORT are responding in large numbers at crowded events, coloured patches including red, blue and green alongside numbers on uniforms are used to clearly identify them from general duties police."

On the question of identity, the spokeswoman said the officers were indeed required to wear either a name badge or one identifying them by their "registered number".

As to suggestions Victoria Police had been "privatised" and "sold out" to the "Strong Cities Force", fact checkers at AAP rated such claims as false.

While Victoria is signed up to the Strong Cities Network, which is led by an independent UK think tank and aimed at tackling violent extremism, the fact checkers found that control of Victoria Police remains solely in the hands of the Victorian Government.

"While Victoria is a member city of the Strong Cities Network, this has no impact on the operations of Victoria Police, which continues to be owned by, and accountable to, Victoria's government," AAP said.

Despite claims on Facebook to the contrary, the network says it is not connected to the United Nations. However, its official launch took place in New York in 2015, at the margins of the UN General Assembly.

In regards to Mr Kelly's question on whether the uniforms shown in the post had been seen on the streets before, news reports show the red patches have been in use since at least September 2019, when PORT officers were involved in removing animal rights activists from a bridge in Melbourne (pictured).
