Backlash from bikies' Coast meet

THE arrival of more than 70 bikies into the Gold Coast at the weekend has sparked a political backlash about government administrative delays over anti-bikie laws passed through State Parliament more than six months ago.

The convoy of members from the Finks, Black Uhlans, Highway 61, Lone Wolves and Odins Warriors roared into Surfers Paradise on Saturday night to mark the 40th Anniversary of the Finks outlaw motorcycle gang, leaving tourists afraid, despite the strong police presence.

Under the anti-bikie laws passed last November, police have the power to secretly apply to the court to have bikie gangs declared criminal organisations so control orders can then be issued against members.
