HISTORICAL CONTEXT

The ongoing crisis surrounding gun violence and organized crime in Australia has intensified in recent years, culminating in high-profile cases involving hired assassins. In March 2023, the murder of Gavin Preston, a known figure in Melbourne's criminal underworld, marked a significant escalation in violent crime linked to gang activities.
