NSW: Attorneys-general to discuss national bikie approach

Attorney-General ROBERT MCCLELLAND says the federal government can help crack down
on bikie gangs by ensuring there's a consistent approach across the states.

Mr MCCLELLAND says a meeting of attorneys-general next month will discuss a national
framework to help enforce tough new laws in some states.

The NSW cabinet has approved new search and asset seizing powers targeting bikie gangs.

He says states may also pursue changes to phone interception and evidence laws to help
put the new legislation into practice.
