FAMILY have told of their distress at the ongoing solitary confinement of three of the "Yandina Five" as they await a judge's verdict on their last ditch bid for bail. Lawyers for Joshua Carew and Paul Lansdowne, who with three other accused Rebels motorcycle club "participants" face six months jail for being together in the Yandina pub on November 1, went before the Supreme Court to seek their release today. Justice John Byrne, who expressed concern with Lansdowne's ongoing membership of the Rebels and Carew's separate role in an alleged drug ring, postponed his decision to January 14. Outside court, Carew's wife Tracy told reporters she hadn't been allowed to speak to him for more than a month but she imagined he would be "devastated" to face another five days in lockdown. "His lawyer said he's doing it tough, the conditions in solitary are very degrading and disgusting, to be blunt," she said. Under Queensland's harsh new laws targeting bikies and associates, Carew and Lansdowne - co-owners of a Nambour pizza parlour who are also co-accused in an alleged methamphetamine ring selling to Rebels bikies on the Sunshine Coast and Hervey Bay - must show the court why it is unjustified to keep them behind bars awaiting trial. An earlier bid for bail was knocked back by Chief Magistrate Tim Carmody last month. They were already on bail for the trafficking charges when arrested for "knowingly being in a public place" with other gang participants, a new offence drawn up by the State Government in a wide-reaching campaign against outlaw motorcycle gangs. An emotional Mrs Carew said she understood her husband's mental state was deteriorating and he was "suffering anxiety." How would you feel 22 hours (a day) locked in a closed room? I can't even begin to imagine what he's thinking," she said. Carew's father-in-law Mike Smith, a four-year Rebel who gave sworn evidence today that he'd left the club, said he thought Justice Byrne had given a "very, very fair" hearing. It's a shame that the boys have to spend this long time in solitary confinement but the wheels of justice turn slowly and I have to put faith in the Judge. Mrs Carew said she thought the case had raised public awareness that "these laws affect everyday people and family." "Our main focus at the moment is getting the boys treated fairly and I feel a little bit deflated at the moment that they're going to spend another five days in solitary, which is really hard," she said. But we'll keep fighting and hopefully we'll be able to talk to him on the phone and get a visit... I haven't seen him for a month now so it's really difficult. They just keep telling me it's a process and we have to wait.
