Vicious Lawless Association Disestablishment Act 2013 is an act of the Parliament of Queensland to "severely punish members of criminal organisations that commit serious offences". The act was passed on 16 October 2013, and went into effect immediately.〔http://www.abc.net.au/news/2013-10-16/qlds-tough-anti-bikie-laws-passed-after-marathon-parliament-/5025242〕 The relevant Minister is required to review the Act after 3 years. The Act applies to legal organisations and "any other group of 3 or more persons by whatever name called, whether associated formally or informally and whether the group is legal or illegal." Similarly it defines office bearer of the organisation to allow for informal roles, with the defendant required to prove that they are not an office bearer. The Act declares a person to be a "vicious lawless associate" if they commit a serious offence "for the purposes of, or in the course of participating in the affairs of, the relevant association". It is incumbent on the defendant to prove that the association is "an association whose members do not have as their purpose" the serious offences listed in the Act. If a person is declared to be a "vicious lawless associate", this Act mandates a further 15 years imprisonment on top of the sentence for the crime for members of the organisation, and 25 years imprisonment for office bearers of the organisation.〔 == Declared offences == The Act lists offences from the following Acts that are deemed to be 'serious offences' for the purpose of this Act: * Corrective Services Act 2006: 1 offence * Criminal Code (Queensland): 59 offences * Criminal Proceeds Confiscation Act 2002: 1 offence * Drugs Misuse Act 1986: 5 offences * Weapons Act 1990: 3 offences 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Vicious Lawless Association Disestablishment Act 2013」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
