Govt to set up special task force to address financial irregularities
Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim said the decision to set up the task force was made during the special Cabinet committee on national governance meeting today. (Facebook pic) PETALING JAYA : The government will be establishing a special task force to address financial irregularities, Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim announced today. Anwar, who is also finance minister, said the decision to set up the task force was made during the special Cabinet committee on national governance meeting today. 'As part of efforts to strengthen the role of the national audit department through amendments to the Audit Act 1957, the meeting agreed to establish a task force to address serious irregularities,' he said in a Facebook post. During the meeting, he stressed the importance of addressing audit findings related to financial irregularities that could undermine the country's fiscal management. He said the new task force will ensure that follow-up actions are more holistic, targeted and have high impact, in keeping with the principles of accountability, transparency and integrity. Last month, Auditor-General Wan Suraya Wan Radzi said the amended Audit Act, which came into force last year, empowers the department to conduct audits on 1,856 GLCs. She was quoted as saying the amendment expands the department's scope, thereby strengthening the government's oversight of governance and financial management within GLCs. The changes include the expansion of the auditor-general's powers to include audits of entities receiving government financial guarantees, by introducing the 'follow the public money' audit approach. Wan Suraya said, moving forward, all GLCs would be held accountable for any irregularities identified in the auditor-general's report. She highlighted that the committee responsible for following up on actions taken based on the auditor-general's report had uncovered several instances of leakages in state and federal financial statements, which are now in the process of being recovered. She added that beyond the recovery of public funds, the audit process aims to determine whether serious irregularities, governance lapses or systemic failures have occurred.

The signs and deaths pointing to a renewed gangland war in Sydney's underworld
Crime figures travelling with bodyguards, moving houses and a new police mega taskforce are all signs "the war" is on again. Having seen this all before, NSW Police's squad of detectives are determined that no more bodies — criminals or bystanders — will fill the morgue. Taskforce Falcon, as police have called it, already claimed a win when it located a "kill car" with two guns and a jerry can inside a day after being formed this week. A 16-year-old boy was arrested and charged with three offences over the discovery, and Detective Superintendent Jason Fox warned of networks recruiting children to carry out their dirty work. "There's obviously financial enticement, word of mouth. They see friends that might be involved of the same age and they think that's a path to go down," he said on Friday. Samimjan Azari avoided bullets in the attack last Sunday night that killed Dawood Zakaria and injured lawyer Sylvan Singh while they waited at the traffic light of a busy intersection in Granville. Mr Azari was charged a day later with possessing a pistol found by police in the car and he was granted bail. It was revealed in court the 26-year-old has spent the last four months with "bodyguards" and had taken up a senior role in the Alameddine crime network. An earlier shooting, in which bullets narrowly missed him and the late Mr Zakaria in February in Brighton-Le-Sands, was the catalyst for his increased security measures. He is not the only one taking extra precautions. The ABC has been told of "multiple" crime figures changing address and travelling in company. Mr Azari is believed by police to have been the target of last weekend's attack, with one theory that he was being followed while he reported for bail with his solicitor Mr Singh. Mr Singh is likely to make a recovery. When contacted by phone, someone at his Parramatta law firm said: "I'm not in any position to give any comment or statement." The door to their office was bolted shut when the ABC attempted to visit this week. Guttural screams were heard on the driveway of a Condell Park property on May 19. The slaying of plumber John Versace outside his family home proved to be the final straw for police attempting to stop feuding gangsters spilling blood on Sydney's streets. The 23-year-old only had a traffic offence on his criminal record with no known underworld connections. A video of the scene moments after the killing was shared online, attracting millions of views. "Oh my god," a woman can be heard wailing in a video. "Who would do this?" a man yells. If no link can be substantiated, his death would be the eighth fatality as either an innocent bystander or mistaken identity of the gangland war since the shootings began in 2020. Police are investigating whether the current conflict centres around an internal struggle between two crime gangs favoured by the Alameddine clan — "Ready 4 War" and "KVT". Ready 4 War has been described in previous court documents as the drug dealing arm of the Alameddine criminal empire. Its leader, Asaad Alahmad, was jailed for more than two years for his role in running the syndicate in 2024. Alahmad was entrusted with the role because he is the brother-in-law of Alameddine family patriarch Rafat Alameddine. KVT are a street gang hailing from Mt Druitt consisting mostly of young Pacific Islander men. They have been strongly linked to a number of underworld crimes police have tied back to the Alameddine crime network. One law enforcement source told the ABC the relationship between the Alameddines and KVT had "seriously soured". The Alameddine crime network leadership fled to Lebanon in 2023 under increasing police pressure leading to the belief they were now "vulnerable in Sydney", the source added. In a war of changing loyalties, rapper and accused Alameddine crime network associate Ali Younes posted a pointed picture to his Instagram this week. In it was himself with Rafat Alameddine and Dawood Zakaria's older brother Masood. "What's understood don't need to be explained," read the caption, followed by a blood drop emoji. Sitting in a suite at NSW correctional centre, Masood Zakaria may watch his brother's funeral from the cell he now calls home. Sources said there were provisions to allow prisoners to attend funerals, but that was highly unlikely for high security inmates currently on remand. Masood Zakaria is currently awaiting trial for a conspiracy to murder plot against rival Ibrahem Hamze in 2021. He was due to appear in the Supreme Court on Thursday via video but did not show in person. Dawood Zakaria may not have been a major underworld player, but wherever his big brother went, so did he. Whether it was photoshoots showcasing their friend Mr Younes, or following him down the gangland path that started with the notorious "Brothers 4 Life". In their heyday, the gang controlled by crime boss Bassam Hamzy struck fear into many on the streets of Sydney. A young relative of the Zakaria brothers was shot when gangsters looking for Masood Zakaria fired through the front door of the government housing property in Blacktown in 2013. He was not home at the time, but when their father opened the door the young child in the home received "over 300 pellet injuries to (the) kidney, throat, liver, spine and lungs", a court would eventually hear. Dawood Zakaria's own foray into crime began as a teenager, court records show. His most serious stint of offending occurred in 2012 when he was charged with a string of armed robberies. He was found not guilty of several charges at trial but was convicted of robbery in company and handed a two-year jail term to be served as an intensive corrections order in the community. Three days before he was shot dead, Dawood Zakaria was due to appear in Parramatta Local Court on a charge of drug possession. He never showed and was convicted and fined $400 in his absence.

Petty crime unit, more surveillance cameras among Fredericton safety task force's ideas
A Fredericton task force on community safety has made almost 50 recommendations that would improve social services and bolster the police force, all with the goal of reducing crime in the city. The ideas range from installing more surveillance cameras throughout Fredericton to creating 200 "ultra-low-barrier" transitional housing units for homeless people. Some of the 47 recommendations are aimed at the city, and others are aimed at the New Brunswick government. The task force included the Fredericton mayor and police chief as well as provincial officials. "What we've been dealing with is a reactive response to these socioeconomic issues," Chief Gary Forward said after presenting the task force's recommendations to city council on Monday night. "Often, we see people at their worst, and for us to come along and be expected to deal with what took decades of issues to, you know, culminate into something where you see somebody that is homeless or you see somebody that is suffering substance use disorders. "So this is something that we have to look at the root causes of why this is taking place. The police are just one small cog in what is the larger group that is the community safety task force." The city formed the task force last December with a goal of bringing politicians, civil servants and non-profit workers together to brainstorm on how to address a rise in crime. According to the Fredericton Police Force's most recent annual report, the number of reported crimes rose by 40 per cent between 2021 and 2023. Property offences made up 65 per cent of crimes reported in 2023, while crimes against people accounted for 20 per cent. Mayor Kate Rogers said she and councillors have been hearing more and more concerns from residents about an eroding sense of safety. She said this bubbled over last fall, with downtown business owners voicing their concerns more loudly, prompting the formation of the task force. Some of the recommendations The task force included Mike Comeau, the deputy minister of justice and public safety, Social Development Minister Cindy Miles, former Fredericton MP Jenica Atwin, and people from business groups and housing-focused non-profits, They met twice a month. Recommendations in the report presented to council Monday included: Improving lighting on trails, transit stops and streets. Adding surveillance cameras to transit stops. Increasing police and security presence in business districts. Establishing a dedicated policing unit for petty crimes. Creating a mobile outreach unit to respond day or night to the health and mental health needs of vulnerable people. Recommendations directed at the province include: Expanding mental health courts. Increasing mental health and addiction services in correctional centres. Mandating a planned discharge from incarceration into housing or treatment programs. Expanding the availability of detox and rehab beds. Helping to get 200 "ultra-low-barrier" transitional housing units underway for homeless people. Rogers said both the city and the province are now left with coming up with their own plans to implement the recommendations, a process that will be monitored by an oversight committee. "What is most important is that we hold each other accountable to doing this work," Rogers said. "We all gave of our time, and we're all very committed to the work, but to me, the proof is always in the pudding." Rogers said the city's implementation plan is expected to be released within a matter of weeks.
