Tracking proceeds of crime

The Government committed $38.5 million to tackle organised crime. A criminal Intelligence Fusion Centre will be set up within the Australian Crime Commission. It said also that people-smuggling will be targeted by the centre. Authorities stated that organised crime costs the community more then $15 billion a year. The Australian Crime Commission has identified that organised criminal groups use the social welfare system as an income stream. The new measure is expected to reduce fraudulent claims, saving $127.6 million over four years.

My personal reflection

It is very important if government can reduce the crime in our communities.
