On 27 September 2013, an incident occurred in the Broadbeach CBD, involving several members of the Bandidos outlaw motor cycle gang (OMCG). This incident was the catalyst for the introduction of a range of legislative responses, including amendments to the then CMC’s governing legislation, the Crime and Misconduct Act 2001 (now the Crime and Corruption Act 2001) (the Act).
Following the public release by the Queensland Government of the report of the Taskforce on Organised Crime Legislation 2015, the Crime and Corruption Commission (CCC) has determined that it is now appropriate and in the public interest to release all of its submissions to the Taskforce.
The CCC made five confidential submissions to the Taskforce. The submissions have now been re-classified and are deemed public documents because reasons for their earlier in-confidence classification no longer apply.
