Some of Sydney’s most infamous criminal Asian gangs have begun working together create a multi-billion-dollar drug empire.
The gangsters, who are reportedly branding themselves as ‘The Company’, are importing and producing tonnes of the drug ice to meet the nation’s growing demand.

“They are joining forces and co-operating with each other (and) expanding their business,” Organised Crime Squad boss Detective Superintendent Scott Cook told News Corp.

'Asian gangs are entirely transnational, they're nomadic and they do business how legitimate companies do,' he said.
One kilo of ice in Australia can fetch up to $2m whereas the same volume would be sold for about $5,000 in China.

These latest revelations come after The Department of Health has medical staff new guidelines for dealing with ice users in emergency departments.
Under new guidelines, any addict who refuses to swallow sedatives will reportedly be given an injection in the hospital emergency room.

AMA president Professor Brian Owler said doctors had already called for all hospitals to have appropriate security to deal with the increasing number of patients affected by ice.
"We hear stories from our colleagues working in emergency departments about the impact that ice addicts have ... on the dangers to health personnel," he said.
"Also on the time it takes in terms of subduing these people, particularly when they're in extremes of psychosis."

In one horrific case a woman chewed off her own toes and another man refused to have his finger reattached after slicing it off, The Daily Telegraph reports.
It says the guidelines instruct emergency department workers to "avoid prolonged eye contact" and "sudden or threatening gestures" when dealing with ice addicts.
