More than 76 gang patches and more than 315 other insignia items have been seized by police since the government's new gang laws came into force in November. They've laid more than 3000 charges against gang members, including for drugs, firearms and serious violence. But police have not yet issued any disperal notices, prohibition orders or laid any non-consorting charges. Police Minister Mark Mitchell spoke to Lisa Owen.
