In 2006, New South Wales became the first jurisdiction in Australia to introduce specific offences aimed at criminalising the participation in a criminal organisation, with the enactment of the Crimes Legislation Amendment (Gangs) Act 2006 (NSW). Similar proposals have been presented to Parliament in Queensland in May 2007 and in South Australia in November 2007. This article examines the new organised crime provisions in these states, analyses the rationale, elements, advantages, and disadvantages of these laws, and assesses the adequacy and efficiency of the existing and proposed provisions
