		The location of director Rowan Woods's intensely dark tale of heroin abuse, betrayal and human misery is readily identifiable as Cabramatta in the mid-1990s, said local councillor and anti-drugs campaigner Thang Ngo.

		Arrests are up and crime is down or stable in Cabramatta according to a new report on the suburb’s crime problems released today by the NSW Bureau of Crime Statistics and Research.
		The downward trends in crime in Cabramatta coincided with a substantial (50 per cent) increase in the number of all offenders proceeded against by way of arrest and charge, rather than court attendance notice.

		Four serving Cabramatta police officers who appeared before the parliamentary inquiry told how, under a system adopted from the New York police department, the performance of senior police commanders across NSW was being assessed at police headquarters on their ability to control five types of crime: assault, car theft, break and enter, robbery and stealing.
		The draft report says: “What went wrong in Cabramatta is that poor management, driven by inappropriate centrally imposed performance measures, prevented frontline police in Cabramatta from focusing on effectively policing the aspects of crime which was most important to residents of Cabramatta.
		It says: “The people of Cabramatta were told crime was under control and that the streets were safe at a time when it was obvious to anyone in the area that drug crime and violent crime was at completely unacceptable levels.

	Four Corners - 8/4/1997: Cabramatta. Australian Broadcasting Corp
		This report on Cabramatta, known as the heroin capital of Australia, is the result of a three month investigation.
		It's a world where the police and the Cabramatta community are divided by a wall of silence and suspicion, where the police face a culture they struggle to understand.
		Heroin is killing far too many people and yet, it does seem as though the police are powerless to come up with any evidence as to who it is, so the stones keep getting thrown at a community at a whole.

		Harp trapping has been used since the late 1950's to catch microbats without harming them - the development of the Megaharp trap in the late 1980's has revolutionised the study of flying-foxes.
		Megaharps are now being used to routinely catch flying-foxes alive - at Cabramatta and many other places.
		The Megaharp has a double bank of fine, nylon-coated, stainless steel wires that stop the bats as they fly through the trap...they then slide down the wires to be bagged by the waiting catchers.
