The Government hopes to further separate itself from its predecessor with new changes to the Proceeds of Crime Fund.   

The latest round of funding has granted three programmes a collective $5 million to address youth offending and meth harm.   

Associate Justice Minister Nicole McKee says recent changes mean there's a clear and consistent assessment for new initiatives.   

She told Mike Hosking they want to ensure the projects are workable as opposed to throwing taxpayer money at the sky and hoping for results.
