The Liberal Party has promised to introduce prohibited behaviour orders in elected to curb violence and antisocial behaviour.
The Shadow Attorney General, Christian Porter, says the orders would allow courts to ban people convicted of graffiti offences from carrying spray cans, or those convicted of violent offences from carrying weapons.
Mr Porter says the orders, and photos of offenders would also be published in newspapers so people could dob them in.
What it will do is engage the community in reporting on the types of behaviour that most affect members of the community," he said.
"In the United Kingdom a high percentage of breaches of behavioural orders result in terms of imprisonment."
