The NSW government has been asked why it took 18 months to enact approved legislation targeting organised crime figures involved in the supply of drugs.

Police say the legislation will be used to tackle crime across the board, including by Taskforce Erebus which is coordinating the investigation of multiple gangland murders.

The application for an order may be made in relation to any person convicted of a serious drug offence in the past 10 years. "The police are so well resourced and have incredible powers. It is a breach of civil liberties and offends the principle of innocence until proven guilty," Ms Higginson said. Concerns were raised by the New South Wales Law Society and the Greens when the bill was originally proposed.
