The Hon. CHARLIE LYNN: My question is directed to the Minister for Police, Minister for Lands, and Minister for Rural Affairs. Why was a referral of outlaw motorcycle gangs to the New South Wales Crime Commission not made before his announcement yesterday, given the history of escalating violence and crime by these gangs? Is he aware that the New South Wales Crime Commission has only 27 staff projected for the current financial year? Given that, will he consider increasing staff levels at the New South Wales Crime Commission to manage increased workload following the attack last Sunday at Sydney Airport?
The Hon. TONY KELLY: I really do not intend to make public the internal discussions that I, as chair of the management committee, have with the New South Wales Crime Commission. I also do not intend to unnecessarily give any outsiders any knowledge of the commission’s operations.
