Wasn't that Petes' job???

That only applies to swap meets. I think my visa is still valid

God to Pope, could you describe that jacket you're wearing for me please????

 

[Bridges]

Oh no, I think I'd better stay out of Queensland too.
Was just looking at my mill box and noticed the Marcato symbol has a little O.M.C. on it.
Do I own a product with links to an Outlaw Motorcycle Club?
NOOOO!!!!!

Noticed an article in a qld paper where Campbell said " I am not happy that we had to introduce these laws and would have preffered not to..."

Now the cynic in me thinks that due to the LNP becoming more and more unpopular and his approval rating taking a steady nose dive that he is attempting to win over some support. Who says politics is not driven by approval ratings...

The decision
"The Court also held that the plaintiff, [Hells Angel member Stefan Kuczborski], lacked the standing to challenge the Vicious Lawless Association Disestablishment Act (the VLAD Act) and certain provisions of the Criminal Code and the Bail Act introduced by the Criminal Law (Criminal Organisations Disruption) Amendment Act (the Disruption Act)," it announced in its summary.
History

Virtually overnight, belonging to one of the 26 outlaw motorcycle gangs essentially became a criminal act. Members and associates were banned from wearing their colours or patches in public, from gathering in groups of three or more or from working in various professions the government said were used for money laundering, which included tattoo parlours and tow-truck companies...
