Victoria's Tough Laws Best for Dealing with Bike Gangs

"Victoria has the most comprehensive suite of laws and arrangements to tackle organised crime in the country while other states are playing catch-up, the Brumby Government said. Deputy Premier and Attorney-General Rob Hulls said Victoria had the balance right in terms of effective policing that targeted criminals and criminal activity, ensuring the kingpins of the drug trade were caught. “Focusing on membership of bikie gangs, rather than the criminal behaviour of their members, is not sufficient to address serious and organised crime in the complex and changing environment which Australia faces,” he said. Victoria’s tough laws attack all forms of organised crime, whether perpetrated by bikie gangs, underworld groups, triads or any other form of organised criminal association."
