in Australia to have legislation to outlaw specific groups known to undertake
criminal activities, and membership of and association with those groups;

legislative arrangements developed to target consorting for criminal activity
and to outlaw serious and organised crime groups, and membership of and
association with those groups, and the effectiveness of these arrangements;

impact and consequences of legislative attempts to outlaw serious and organised
crime groups, and membership of and association with these groups on:
