[QUOTE]PREMIER Campbell Newman says he does not particularly like his controversial anti-bikie laws.
In a 4BC radio interview on Monday, Mr Newman defended the decision to implement the laws which have come under fire by members of the judiciary, members of the public and even Liberal Party member turned Australia's incoming Human Rights Commissioner Tim Wilson.
"These laws are directed at some specified criminal gangs,'" he said.
"It is about criminals involved in criminal activities. And nobody else needs to worry about it.
"The boy scouts aren't on the list. The Anglican Church aren't on the list ..."
Mr Newman said the legislation had written within it a requirement that it be reviewed in three years.
But he said he was not the biggest fan of the changes.
"I don't particularly like them. I don't particularly like having to do this," Mr Newman said.
"Okay, people are sceptical about that statement.
"I'm the guy in 2012, when asked should Queensland follow the lead of NSW and ban bikies from wearing colours, I said no.
"What changed is a woman being shot in Robina while going about her innocent business on a week.
"What changed for me was seeing the signs of a riot on the Gold Coast on a Friday night.
"What changed for me was recalling what happened in Sydney airport where they hunted a guy down to kill him, in the airport in broad daylight.
"That's what we're dealing with."[/QUOTE]

What a fucking joke
'bikie gangs' has to be the least threatening sounding thing ever which, in a way, makes them weirdly scarier

I agree with all of those except firie, who even says that, it doesn't even have the same ring and flow the other words have. But such is life in boganville.
I don't like them either

This is the kind of bullshit you get when laws like this are passed;

I'm not a fan of bikies in general (I just plain hate motorbikes, sorry) but even I think this whole situation is bullshit. It's basically "You ride a hot bike, you're a criminal until proven otherwise".

Thanks. Mind if I ask what exact code you used to embed that video? I have to wonder if it's something with my brower (Firefox, adblock+, flashblock, noscript etc etc, even though Facepunch is free to do as it pleases in all my settings).
