SA Mongols nearly done removing clubhouse fortifications, but anti-consorting order will be fought CCTV footage from the infamous clash between the Mongols and Hells Angels motorcyle gangs in Las Vegas, 2002. THE Mongols have removed "nine-point-nine-tenths" of their clubhouse fortifications without a court order, but will challenge orders banning their members from associating. Lawyers for the club and for the State Government were due to appear in the Adelaide Magistrates Court today over two separate disputes. The first relates to SA Police's application for an anti-fortification order, the second to having two of the club's top-ranking members banned from speaking to one another.

It was only the third such application since the creation of anti-fortification legislation in 2004, and was expected to be a major showdown between police and the outlaws. The Mongols, however, opted not to fight the application, exclusively telling The Advertiser they would make changes to their club rooms without court intervention . They vowed the Thebarton complex's 2.4m steel gate would be lowered, its steel cage removed and its wooden sleeper fence swapped for Colorbond either before, or soon after, the scheduled court hearing.

Last month, the court heard the Mongols' fortifications were likely to be removed without the need for a hearing, pending local council approval of the changes . Today Solicitor General Martin Hinton, QC, told the court the dispute was almost resolved. "We can be mercifully quick today because we are nine-point-nine-tenths of the way there," he said. There is just one modification that needs to be done, and the Police Commissioner has been told it will be done in the next few days. If that is so, we will then withdraw the application. Magistrate Simon Smart adjourned the matter until January. The Advertiser understands the outstanding fortification is a steel bracket, and that the clubrooms will be inspected by police prior to January. The anti-consorting order will go before the court at 10.30am today.
