Unlike you I don't have a side . But I do know for a fact that the bandidos on the Gold Coast and Brisbane are a nasty criminal organisation .something that you and other posters seem unable to comprehend . That concerns me more . I'm more opposed to the old ' they only ever hurt their own ' mentality . What next ? ' you could leave your doors open '? Why bare no relevance on your GG buddies ? Are they banned , or have they sworn you in on the code of silence ?

What judiciary , any quotes other than highly paid lawyers working for the criminal bikie gangs ? Some how you forgot to name the long standing bikie gang , could of been a lapse . I wasn't referring to the marginalised and vulnerable but benefit fraudsters. Or do you consider them vulnerable in need of defence ? Nobody mentioned the working class . It would seem that your underlying agenda somehow conceals the facts and perhaps blurs the text ?

I've not said that I have evidence all groups are part of organised crime . If you read back I actually stated they're not. But your failure to acknowledge the ones that are does little for your argument . I get tired of the just the beginning , nazi / Jew , police state argument every time a law is introduced or a clamp down introduced . Benefit fraudsters , dole cheats , illegal immigrants and which ever. The liberal educated elite jump to the defence of the ones who aren't being targeted but may adversely be effected . For such a free thinking truth seeker you seem to take any media quote ' I got stopped twice ' as fact without researching or ruthlessly questioning the source. If it was something nearer your own heart like ' Islamic prison forced conversions ' you'd stop at nothing to discredit the source .if the law is overturned then it'sa victory for common sense and democracy in action. , if not it's a travesty and a sad day for Australia and it's redneck / backwards politicians . Are your south west Australian biker friends on a banned list ?

So triads without criminal convictions could still be criminals ? As with Russian and Albanian gangs . Your not making much sense so I'll leave it at that and perhaps a little too generously will consider you naive .

which patched club have you had personal encounters with and in what capacity ? Ive seen the patched members of the vietnam vets club collecting doing good work . But that doesn't alter the fact that there are criminal gangs in operation , not as you seem to believe , gangs with criminals in.

as amusing an article as it maybe , it would seem that a good few have taken some liberal journalist attempt at political satire seriously . If that was real I'll eat my shorts and vote greens for the rest of my life . Unfortunate as innocent cairns bikers being stopped , or a man in a sons of anarchy tee shirt being questioned the actions of a minority have wider implications for the rest of us . I have to open bags when entering museums or sporting events . Yet each time I tough it out and try not to compare myself to the boy in the striped pyjamas. Sooner the criminal gangs are broken up , the sooner the peace loving noise polluting bikies can go back about their normal business .

When did fairy wings enter the equation ?

its also the polices job to prevent and deter crime , I'm sure your aware . Take random breath tests on motorists . I've had about 15 in three years . No screams of demonisation of motorists and it's the gas chambers next stop. Targeted for driving . a car and presumed guilty unless I blow and prove myself innocent . Plenty of law abiding bikers round here . Old codgers on Harley's , younger blokes on newer machines . No trouble with them at all .it would be ludicrous to label all bike riders criminals , that's probably why no one is or has . But the failure to act on the criminal gangs , which they are and to fail to take preemptive measures against them as a growing menace is building more trouble for the future . No police state and absolutely nothing to do with rednecks , a great deal of whom have Harley's in their sheds !

So just to be sure it's not naivety , have you met any of the Gold Coast bandidos ?

yes it's ok to ban them . They're criminal gangs , not gangs with criminals in. What's the hard part for you to understand about that ? Do you and FOC think the mafia should be left in peace until they're caught in the act ? Amazes me anyone can be so naive or stupid . Do you think the bandidos are a good bunch of happy motor cyclist , working hard and cruising round on the bikes at weekends with just a couple of bad apples ? They are organised like the mafia , they join to become criminals , part of a criminal gang . They're well run with a hierarchy and code of silence .not the easiest bunch to convict especially as witness intimidation , police intimidation and the amount of money they've got for the best lawyers . Not your average working class Ausi blokes . Especially as few do work , yet seem to have an incredible lifestyle and out goings . FOC seems to think that if you oppose organised crime your a redneck that the right wing appeases . Why not stick some more phobias to those that support law and order . Homophobic if you dress them in pink , because labelling anyone who thinks outside the trendy liberal box must be a little bit mad and need some therapy . Why not try to humiliate them and break the macho culture in prison ?

Very silly if you have an understanding of the word blanket . Even sillier if you have an understanding of national socialist activities before and during the 2nd world war . 26 motorcycle clubs involved in criminal activities . Serious crime . How does that constitute a blanket ban on all motorcycle clubs in your opinion ? Its all very well opposing every thing a right of centre goverment does , but some times you need to take a step back and look at the facts .

Some confusion over the wild hogs and organised criminal gangs . Seems some confusion with hitler and Jews as well . Or slightly more confused than confusion . Read some pretty dumb stuff on this . Nobodies targeting innocent bikers . The targets are the criminal bikie gangs . The ones that can get a Gold Coast Anz branch to open at 8.30 on a Friday night to lend $200,000 dollars to some one . Campbell's targeting hoons as well , confiscating cars and crushing them . I'm a law abiding motorist , should I start comparing it to a Stalinist state and fear the Gulag. ? No , that would just be silly.

Landing Christmas Eve and dreading the cold , reckon it might kill me now !

A fuel card so you can fill up cans and sell them cheap to your mates Stevie !

You'll have to buy your own sunscreen Stevie , I can't afford that kind of overhead !

$35 an hour Stevie , cappuccino and muffins mate , you can do the scones if they're proper English ones with jam and cream , not those Celtic lard and flour things !

Carpenter wanted for ongoing work in Redcliffe area . Own ute/van , tools for maintenance / Reno / decks . Tiling , plastering and painting an advantage . Immediate start , sorry no sponsorship available . Pm for details . Cheers Mick

Have you been to Stratford yet ?

Does that work out at 5p per person or have I messed up on the maths ?

I'm pretty sure they've bought factor 50 out now here but it only offers less than one percent extra protection than the 30 . A lot depends on your skin type and a visit to a skin cancer specialist for mole mapping is highly recomended on arrival with regular checkups . I've just been working with a kiwi who splattered him self with 30 every hour so he looked like Casper and he still burnt , while I use nothing and don't .

I would suggest a trip to Stratford for anyone moving from the north of England to acclimatise before heading down under .

One of the best games I've watched , the burgess boys have made it cool to be a Pom on the east coast . My mrs reckons I've got an unhealthy obsession with big Sam . 80 minutes non stop work from him . England could be in the running if they play widdup and reed in the World Cup .

No wonder the Romans gave up on the 'painted people' !

where abouts is it please ?

Aldi machine with frother for me , 32c per pod . Number 11 and 9 are my favourite strengths . IMO as good as nespresso.
