Finks to fight on after High Court loss A HIGH Court decision supporting Queensland's criminal organisation laws proves there is no need for states to hand authority in such matters to Canberra, the state's attorney-general says. The High Court on Thursday upheld a Queensland law allowing the Gold Coast chapter of the Finks motorcycle club to be declared a criminal organisation. Pompano Pty Ltd, a company linked to the chapter, had challenged the state's Criminal Organisation Act, arguing it was unconstitutional and denied procedural fairness. The decision means an application lodged in the Supreme Court in Brisbane last year to have the chapter and the company declared criminal organisations can now proceed. "The High Court's decision shows the federal government that the state is best placed to deal with these types of legislation and laws," Attorney-General Jarrod Bleijie told AAP. This confirmation of validity will complement the government's existing legislation and our future legislation in terms of unexplained wealth laws, serious drug trafficking offences and mandatory sentencing for firearms offences. He said there was no good reason for the states to refer their anti-association and unexplained wealth laws to the commonwealth. After these new laws are passed in the parliament, Queensland will be the jurisdiction in this nation with the toughest anti-bikie laws. Even as the Finks vowed their war against the Queensland laws was far from over, Assistant Police Commissioner Mike Condon told reporters the High Court decision validated the legislation. (There's a) number of milestones that must be achieved before this matter is finalised. Obviously today is one of those milestones," Mr Condon said. We've still got to go before the Supreme Court where everything will be tested from an operational side. We believe we have a strong argument and it will be a matter for the judge of the Supreme Court to decide otherwise. Finks lawyer Bill Potts said the High Court's six-nil unanimous decision may appear to be a loss for the club, but could instead force Queensland police to completely redraft its current Supreme Court application. "Six-nil may look like a loss, but the devil is in the detail," Mr Potts said outside court. The detail here is defeating the present application, and it may also have the effect of making future applications unworkable. Mr Condon said people needed to understand the danger motorcycle gangs posed. "The notion that these are just good citizens riding motorbikes is absolute rubbish," he said. Clearly the matters that members of Finks have come before court for - murder, drugs, serious assault - clearly show they are a problem for policing organisations and for the community. Mr Bleijie is adamant Queensland police need the power to tackle organised crime. "We must do whatever we can as a government and we mustn't be scared to stand up to these bikie gangs," he said. Police are expected to reveal how they will proceed when the matter returns to the Supreme Court on Friday.
