MORNING BRIEFING: NSW police put new Firearm Prohibition Orders to use in week-long raid operation targeting alleged organised crime figures.
Fifteen men who police say are "the who's who of criminality" in Sydney's south-west have been charged after a week-long crackdown on organised crime.
"Last week, we targeted the who's who of criminality in Sydney's south-west: Rebels, Finks and Lone Wolves OMCG — you'd be hard-pressed to find someone in that world who didn't get a home visit," Assistant Commissioner Smith said. Unions are calling for the pay cap to be scrapped and workers' salaries to be increased in line with inflation to help address cost-of-living pressures and"Our pandemic heroes can't afford to pay their bills, on top of that they can't afford to live where they work," Unions NSW secretary Mark Morey said.
People who stayed in COVID-19 quarantine facilities in New South Wales need to pay up, Treasurer Matt Kean says. "We expect the other states and territories who stepped back when New South Wales stepped up to do their bit, pay their bills."
