"(I)n communities where violence had erupted, intelligence pointed the security forces to those responsible.

"Among the measures proposed by the prime minister are an extension of the period of detention, without charge, of persons suspected of murder and gun-related charges; restriction of bail in relation to specified charges; minimum sentences; majority guilty verdicts for non-capital murder; speedier authorisation of interception of communications and the removal of right to silence in certain cases."
