OUTLAW motorcycle gangs are bad news

"OUTLAW motorcycle gangs are bad news - violent people whose history shows their links to crime such as murder, illegal firearms, illicit drugs, prostitution, extortion, assault, arson, theft, vehicle rebirthing, fraud and corruption. They scare people. They are also highly visible targets for politicians wanting to be 'tough on crime'.
In South Australia, then Opposition leader Mike Rann pledged to bulldoze bikie fortresses as part of a macho law-and-order campaign by Labor in the lead-up to the 2002 election.
'We are not just dealing with meatheads on motorbikes, we are dealing with basically the foot soldiers of organised crime,' Rann said at the time.
Three election victories later, not a single fortress has been demolished under Rann's leadership. At least eight major complexes still stand in Adelaide, housing gangs such as the Hells Angels, Descendants, Finks, Gypsy Jokers and Rebels. And there are no plans to bulldoze any."
