I have just read the ozbike article on the new anti-bikie laws and to be honest it is a seriously disturbing developement.
Nowhere in the new legislation is the word bikies used, so it can be used to target any group.
Both the Law Society of SA and the SA Bar Association have called for it to be withdrawn.
Australian Democrats leader Sandra Kanck has also raised concerns about the Bill, which penalises people who associate with outlaw clubs.
The Serious and Organised Crime Bill has passed the Assembly and will now be debated in the Upper House where it is likely to pass with the support of the Opposition.
It will give the Government the power to jail a person for a minimum of five years if they have contact with bikers six times a year. The police will have the power to declare a bike club [u](or any other organization)</u> illegal. Anyone who makes contact with a bikie or a bikie gang at least six times a year will face five years in jail. This can include personal meetings, emails, text messages, faxes or phone calls.
Bikies and their associates can be issued with control orders banning them from having contact with specified people.
Anyone who has a criminal record who has contact with someone else with a criminal record at least six times a year will face five years in jail.
Any police intelligence used to issue control orders against bikies or anyone associating with them must remain secret.
Oh and they dont have to prove a case against you to have a control order placed on you nor do you have the right to appeal
Fight this now or we may find it's too late to save ourselves
