COMMENT The South Australian government has already signalled a clear warning to knife thugs with the new parliamentary year about to start. It will introduce a raft of laws cracking down on escalating knife crime and those who perpetrate them. It follows a long-running review, perhaps far too long, and a spate of ugly and potentially deadly incidents including a recent shopping centre attack. Police will be given far greater powers to swoop on suspected offenders in public places.
New Police Minister Stephen Mullighan and Attorney-General Kyam Maher both say these new reforms will see SA with the strongest knife laws in the country. “Giving police these new powers mean they can stop knife crime before it happens and South Australians can continue to feel safe in their community,” Mullighan explained. Maher thanked all the people who had their say during a lengthy consultation.
