The Criminal Organisations Control Bill 2011 aims to disrupt and restrict the activities of organisations involved in serious criminal activity, their members, and associates by enabling declarations and control orders. It also introduces criminal sanctions for recruiting members or financing such organisations and amends several existing Acts.
