Parliamentary committee report on organised crime groups
Tue Aug 18 2009The Parliamentary Joint Committee on the Australian Crime Commission has issued a report on legislative and administrative approaches adopted in a number of jurisdictions to tackle both domestic and transnational crime. Of particular interest is South Australia and New South Wales, which have passed legislation to curb the alleged involvement of motorcycle clubs in serious and organised crime. The Serious and Organised Crime (Control) Act 2008 (SA) and The Crimes (Criminal Organisations) Control Act 2009 (NSW) have, in the words of the committee, "signalled a new approach to tackling serious and organised crime in Australia".
