CHANGES to existing laws to crack down on organised criminals, including those who fly under false names, have passed the lower house.
Attorney-General Nicola Roxon earlier this month introduced a legislative package to ensure commonwealth criminal law remained up to date and effective.
Organised criminals often fly under false names.
The bill will make it a crime to use a false identity to book a flight over the internet or to take commercial flights.
It will also be a crime to use a false identity when identifying oneself for a flight.
Other measures in the package include allowing illicit drugs to be listed by regulation.
The move is aimed at preventing criminals exploiting loopholes created when lists of controlled drugs don't keep pace with the market for illicit substances.
The bill also expands laws against identity theft by making it a crime to use a carriage service like the internet or a mobile phone to obtain identity information with the intention of committing another offence.
It increases the commonwealth's penalty unit scheme by raising the value of a single unit from $110 to $170.
The maximum fine for obtaining a financial advantage by deception would jump from $66,000 to $102,000 for an individual under the changes.
The Crimes Legislation Amendment (Serious Drugs, Identity Crime and Other Measures) Bill 2012 passed the lower house on Tuesday.
