Towing companies, gymps, second-hand car dealerships and security firms targeted in Newman Government anti-bikie laws TOWING companies, gyms, second-hand car dealerships and security firms will be treated the same as tattoo parlours under a widening of Queensland's anti-bikie laws. Attorney-General Jarrod Bleijie will next week introduce the expansion of the laws to parliament, which will make it illegal for a bikie to own or work in a company operating in those industries. Bikies are already banned from owning or working in tattoo parlours, with punishment including $5000 fines and six months jail. The Newman Government will also close an embarrassing loophole to limit the "wriggle room" for criminal bikie gang members. Mr Bleijie said the Government wanted to be sure bikies who handed in their patches could not escape the full force of the law. "Queenslanders have got to know that criminal motorcycle gang members that go to the lawyers and throw down their jackets are not leaving the criminal activities and the bodies that they belong to," he said. It follows this week's hearing before Supreme Court Judge Margaret Wilson, during which a grammatical error in the legislation was highlighted. Justice White noted that the use of "is" instead of "was" meant the laws did not apply to past members of bikie gangs, such as former Hells Angels' and alleged drug traffickers Bruno and Nuno De Silva. Mr Bleijie said if an amendment was necessary, the Government would make the change, and also flagged further laws targeting bikies. Opposition leader Annastacia Palaszczuk said the amendments proved the laws had been rushed through without proper scrutiny. Figures released by Police Minister Jack Dempsey show 27 people have appeared before court charged under the anti-bikie laws. Of those, three have been refused bail and another 15 are currently with the Director of Public Prosecutions awaiting review by the Supreme Court.
