  • Summary

  • Today we examine the transition of organised crime in Sydney, Australia, from illegal gambling to the drug trade, using the Moylan family as a case study. Michael Moylan senior built a successful illegal casino, showcasing the lucrative nature of organised crime in the 1960s. However, the legalisation of gambling and prostitution and the rise of the less controllable drug trade significantly altered the landscape of organised crime. The Moylans' drug importation operation, while relatively small in scale, marked a pivotal shift in organised crime's focus, attracting increased police scrutiny and media attention, contrasting with the previous era of more lenient law enforcement. This shift ultimately led to a decline in the power and influence of traditional organised crime figures.
