‘Fancy cars and flashy yachts’: criminals living the high life targeted by Victoria’s unexplained wealth laws

Police minister says those who ‘swan around with ill-gotten gains’ will be pursued in reforms that flip onus of proof

Organised crime figures who splash out on yachts, penthouse suites and sex workers will be targeted by the Victorian government, under new laws that will force them to repay any wealth they cannot prove was lawfully acquired.

The state’s attorney general, Jaclyn Symes, and police minister, Anthony Carbines, on Tuesday announced they will introduce the Confiscation Amendment (Unexplained Wealth) Bill to parliament, in an effort to deprive criminals of the “use and enjoyment of their unexplained wealth”.

Symes said the new laws would flip the onus from police and prosecutors – who currently have to prove a direct link between a criminal and their wealth – to the offender.

“The barrier has been is that we’ve had to demonstrate that [wealth] is connected to criminal activity. The onus now will be flipped under this legislation, you will have to demonstrate that you obtained it by legal means,” she said.

“It’s very likely unless they won Tattslotto and they can show their winning ticket. They probably were doing illegal activities to obtain their wealth.”

Carbines said the changes will also capture assets bought in a partner or relative’s name as well as gifts, “consumable wealth and wealth that has been gifted, disposed of or expended”.

“If you want to swan around with ill-gotten gains and wealth that doesn’t belong to you, that you’ve accrued illegally, police will be able to pursue you. They’ll be able to pursue your family and your partners,” he said.

“If organised crime bosses think that they can have the fancy cars, flashy yachts, spend their money on hotels and strippers, if you draw your attention to yourself, Victoria police will be after you.

“They will be able to use these laws to crack out and reclaim the stolen wealth that ill gotten gains, and it’s about continuing to make sure we put the pressure on organised crime.”

The new laws will allow the Director of Public Prosecutions to apply to a court for an order if there are reasonable grounds to suspect that a person’s total wealth exceeds their lawfully acquired wealth by at least $200,000.

If a person can’t satisfy a court that they have lawfully obtained their wealth, a court may order them to pay the state the value of anything they cannot prove was lawfully acquired.

The laws have been modelled on those currently in place in Western Australian, but are also similar to New South Wales’ laws, which were also bolstered in 2023 to allow police to seize and freeze wealth and assets without a specific offence.

The opposition leader, John Pesutto, questioned why it had taken so long for the government to introduce the legislation, though he said he supported the concept in principal.

“Frankly, after 10 years, you have to ask, what is it actually doing to crack down on organised crime?” he said.

GENERAL   INFORMATION

The SABRE was designed in 1974 by Rex Fettell who also designed the MINNOW and as by 2019 close to 2,300 boat plans have been issued.

It is arguably the largest single-handed non olympic class in Australia with 36 clubs sailing the SABRE in all Australian states.

The Class has contributed significantly to the sailing scene, particularly in Victoria, as one of the most active supporters of V.Y.C. activities. As a training class for future world class sailors the Sabre is second to none.

Sabre sailors who have done well on the world sailing scene;

– Owen McMahon

470 Olympic rep, Australian sabre champion 1988.

– Stuart Wallace

Laser World Champion & Olympic rep (x3)

– Sarah Blanck

World Womens Laser Radial Champ 1997, World Europe champion 2002 and Olympic rep 2004 (Europe).

– Melannie Dennison

Olympic rep 2000 (Europe)

– Stewart Rose

LW Sharpie Australian champion 3 times.

– Krystal Weir

Lasre Champion, Olympic Rep Yingling Class 2008

Add Chris Dance, Peter Hackett, Gary McLennan.

The majority of young skippers in the VYC State Squad for the past 10 years have been SABRE and ex-SABRE skippers. The Sabre has been the most represented class at the annual schools regatta over the past 10 years.

Championship regattas cater for all age groups with trophies awarded to the first 5 places in the OPEN category as well as the first three places in the following categories:-

OPEN – Overall

LADIES – Ladies Overall

JUNIOR – Less than 18 years old

SENIOR – 18 and less than 40 years old

MASTER – 40 and less than 50 years old

GRAND MASTER – 50 and less than 60 years old

VETERAN – 60 years and less than 70

GRAND  VETERANS – Over 70 – and still sailing.

Division trophies are also generally awarded in championships when there are appropriately high entries.

In the past few years entries in the Victorian State Championship have ranged between 50 and 100 boats and the 2011  Australian Championship hosted by Blairgowrie Yacht Squadron attracted a record 130 Sabres

SABRE’S   ATTRACTION

The same reasons designer Rex Fettell had when he conceived the design.

A need for a single-handed dinghy that was light, of simple easy to build design, with good handling performance, even in 20 knots plus and lumpy seas, a comfortable cockpit and close class racing suitable for both male and female sailors who weigh between 50 to 90 kg.

Although the ideal weight is claimed to be 60 Kg – 80 Kg, winners have been at the extremes depending on conditions.

Females have won both the Australian and Victorian championships.

SABRE is a REAL boat, not a low profile surfboard type. Performance suits the average sailor rather than the super athletic skipper and at an affordable price.

SABRE fits neatly into the position between junior and family sailing dinghies, and the high performance but expensive international classes. Large fleets in so many clubs ensure excellent competition, a strong training and coaching base and protection of your investment.

SABRE is maintained as a strict one-design class by the Australian Association and supported by strong, active State Associations. Sabres have sufficient flexibility to move with the times and technological development without detriment to earlier boats.

The boat is readily transported by car-topping or light trailer and is easily carried by two people. Most skippers have beach-trolleys for easy single-handed launching which also fit onto their trailers.

CONSTRUCTION

For the keen do-it-yourself type the SABRE is easily amateur built by the simple stitch plywood and fibreglass tape method. It is estimated that most amateurs can complete a SABRE in 40 man-hours.

Full size templates and comprehensive building notes are available from the association to ensure ease of construction. Timber costs approximately $400 and current estimated all-up cost is $3500 home built.

Low maintenance all Fibreglass/Foam sandwich or Plywood/Fibreglass composite boats are available to varying degrees of completion from licensed builders. The standard and strength of these boats is excellent as well as being very competitive. Moulds are constructed under Association control and there are a number professional builders in Victoria and South Australia.

A boat registration number and a set of building/fitting out notes MUST be purchased from the Association prior to commencing construction (both Amateur and Professionally built boats). Following the building notes will ensure compliance and a Class ‘A’ Measurement Certificate which is mandatory for class championships.

Boat registration, Building/Fitting Out notes and Association Membership are available from :-

Barry Eastgate – National Secretary

Current cost is $90 which also includes the first year’s full membership of the Association. Templates are available.

The loose foot mainsail must be made from a minimum cloth weight of 3 oz as from 1st September 1992.

Previously cloth weight was unrestricted and many sails were made of 2.2 oz cloth which whilst very competitive, has now banned in the interests of longevity and cost minimisation.

ASSOCIATION OBJECTIVE

• To encourage the growth, popularity and racing of the SABRE Class.
