A pharmacy owner has teed off on the current state of St Kilda, claiming her and her staff have never felt as “frightened, insecure and fearful” as they do today in the 35 years they’ve been operating.

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.
