Charlotte called into 3AW and was quite emotional talking about what she’s seen in the area in recent times.
“This should be a premium and premier tourist district … instead it’s like third world,” Charlotte said.

“Everyone is struggling, everyone is on its knees, we just don’t know what to do anymore,” she said.
“Your description was gripping, it was frightening, and I’m afraid it’s all too real,” 3AW host Tony Jones said.
