Sexy theft

Victoria (the state) is introducing the Confiscation Amendment (Unexplained Wealth) Bill in an effort to deprive criminals of the “use and enjoyment of their unexplained wealth”.

Basically the onus of proof flips to the holder of wealth. If they can’t explain where they got the cash for their yachts, penthouse suites and sex workers, then they get an equivalent debt to the state.

Basically Victoria is socialising the profits from criminal activity. That’s still criminal theft, no matter which way you look at it. Receiving stolen goods or the proceeds from crime is a crime, right?

However because our politicians are all totally corrupt to the core, it probably looks reasonable to them.

The outcome; their criminals will spend their ill-gotten gains elsewhere. Bad luck Victoria…
