The New South Wales government is set to introduce new legislation aimed at cracking down on organised crime by creating tougher penalties and new offences. The laws will specifically target the use of so-called "kill cars"—stolen vehicles equipped with cloned number plates, weapons, disguises, and fuel to assist in planned shootings and arson attacks. The reforms will also focus on preventing criminal gangs from recruiting young people to carry out illegal activities. NSW Police Minister Yasmin Catley said the measures are designed to deter individuals from becoming involved in organised crime and strengthen law enforcement efforts across Sydney and the state.
