The United Motorcycle Council of Queensland says Premier Campbell Newman’s anti-bikie law concessions are “an insult” and “cosmetic”. Premier Newman has announced that the Queensland Government had listened to public concern and was revoking the requirement for jailed motorcycle club members to be segregated and wear pink jumpsuits. UMCQ spokesperson Mick Kosenko says the proposed measures are farcical and do not scratch the surface of what is troubling Queenslanders about the state’s VLAD and anti-association laws. “Does the Premier really think that innocent people like librarian Sally Kuether really care what colour they may need to wear in prison?” Mr Kosenko says. The Queensland Government is likely to lose the High Court appeal against the laws and will face millions in compensation. This backflip won’t spare them from that either. motorbikewriter/vlad-backflip-little-late/
