AG Hulls says Victoria has a more balanced approach to bikie gangs

16/04/2009

Victorian Attorney-General Rob Hulls has criticised the legislative response to bikie gangs in New South Wales and South Australia.

"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.

"There is no evidence to suggest that the legislation to criminalise outlaw motorcycle gangs, including the laws introduced in South Australia, have been effective in addressing the organised criminal activities of these groups."
