 Evan MULHOLLAND (Northern Metropolitan) (12:38): My constituency question is to the Attorney-General. Can the Attorney-General explain why the government’s amendments to the Criminal Organisations Control Act 2012, which were meant to outlaw the public display of outlaw motorcycle gang insignia, have not been implemented or enforced? The Herald Sun recently reported that the Hells Angels have reinstated prominent signage at their Alphington clubhouse, and legal advice reportedly provided to such clubs indicates that no action can be taken until the Attorney-General formally proscribes them in regulation. Well, I think it is about time the Attorney- General formally designated outlaw motorcycle gangs such as the Hells Angels and explained why these gangs currently appear free to display their symbols as if the law has not changed.
