Internet Hoax or Real Deal?

I received an e-mail yesterday at work regarding Australia's latest crime stats. It states that last year was the first full year since the Aussie's were "asked" to "voluntarily" turn in their "weapons"(read-illegal confiscation). Seems that in this first year ALL crimes have RISEN sharply-in particular VIOLENT crime and those involving weapons. Has anyone else seen this? Can anyone confirm this as being true or is it internet hype meant to peeve us off? Doesn't seem too far from the truth. I remember hearing the same thing about England a couple years ago.

    Yes it is very true and old news as well.The media doesnt seem to want to print the trueth.I Britain it is the same,Blair banned hand guns and crime is rising faster than ever.
