Bikie control order laws ruled invalid - ABC News (Australian Broadcasting Corporation)

The Finks Motorcycle Club has struck a major blow against new laws in South Australia aimed at targeting organised crime. The laws allow for control orders against recognised members of motorcycle clubs, to prevent them from associating with each another. Lawyers for the Finks challenged the legislation in the South Australian Supreme Court. The club was the first targeted under the SA legislation and the lawyers argued the orders were unconstitutional because magistrates were given no choice but to impose them. The Supreme Court has ruled that part of the legislation governing control orders is invalid. .

A lawyer representing Finks members, Craig Caldicott, says they have been vindicated by the judgment.

"We've said from day one that section 14 of the Serious and Organised Crime Act is invalid, it's draconian and it's just basically un-Australian," he said.

"It means that once more the civil liberties have triumphed to a certain extent."

Good otherwise we were going to have to carve signs on our foreheads and walk about with armbands on.
I like the fact that Rann has to pick up the tab also.
