What will the scrapping of Queensland’s anti-bikie laws mean for organised crime?

Terry Goldsworthy writes in The Conversation (5.4.16) about the state government’s announcement that it will reshape the VLAD anti-bikie laws, and what these changes might do to address broader problems with organised crime in Queensland.

‘The Queensland government has announced it will introduce a new suite of laws designed to tackle organised crime on a much broader front than just targeting bikies. This follows the release on Monday of a report that recommended the state’s contentious anti-bikie laws be replaced with more workable ones.

‘So, what will this mean for organised crime in Queensland – and more broadly in Australia?’
