Libs want real action on crime, not more spin
The Opposition is sceptical about Labor’s latest announcement, Shadow Attorney-General Stephen Wade said today.
“We’ve had almost a decade of the Rann Government talking tough with little impact on crime,” Mr Wade said.
“Law enforcement agencies already have the power to confiscate assets and wealth connected with crime – we want to know why Labor thinks its previous changes didn’t work and how the new laws will do any better.
“This Labor Government is more concerned with press releases than effective laws.
“We want to see real action, not more spin.
“The Opposition considers that all organised crime is a problem, not just crime that profits from drug trafficking.
“Labor claims that the new law will focus on drug traffickers – only one part of organised crime. They are saying to Adelaide’s underworld that as long as you don’t traffic drugs Labor doesn’t care.”
