LONGRIDERS CMC AUSTRALIA Position regarding S.A.'s "Bikie Bill"

LONGRIDERS CMC AUSTRALIA have been active in speaking out against the proposed Legislative Arrangements to Outlaw Serious and Organised Crime Groups, in South Australia.

This proposed legislation endangers the existance of Motorcycle Clubs, and contravenes human rights laws in Australia.

Attached is a statement, made by one of LONGRIDERS' Senior members, Edward "Mac" Hayes, who is also one of LONGRIDERS' Founding Members, and also a respected and distinguished citizen in his own right

Mac delivered this address to the Parliamentary Joint Committee on the Australian Crime Commission, in regards to the Inquiry into the Legislative arrangements to outlaw serious and organized crime groups, and in particular the new South Australian law, the “Serious and Organised Crime (Control) Bill” that has recently been passed by the South Australian Parliament.

If you are concerened about your Civil Rights, then please read Mac's Address, and petition the Government to stop this madness.

This has got to stop !

This law is so biased and ridiculous that it also targets anyone who remotely associates with "Outlaw" clubs, here's an example:

Our Adelaide Chapter President, who is also a full time church staff member, was refused a Limited Liquor Licence, for a Poker Run, on the grounds that:

" He is not a fit and proper person because he associates with a particular "Outlaw" MC, who have been declared a criminal organisation by the SA state Government, and therefore has been refused this application on this event, and a memorial run to remember fallen brothers at a grave site"

Does this mean that a Prison Chaplain would also be declared "Not fit and proper person" because he associates with known criminals !

This is absolutely disgusting, when an upstanding Christian member of society, who has the priviledge of performing marriages for members of "Outlaw" Clubs, burying their dead, and praying with them in hard times, and trying to bring some meaning and hope in a world full of hypocrisy, is discriminated against for taking the Gospel out to to those who need it the most.

This is a bloke who runs a mainstream Church, who in his line of work feeds the Hungry and clothes the Poor, who because of his beliefs is a member of a Christian Motorcycle Club, who has a heart of gold and the urge to minister to those in need, and yet, in the eyes of an unjust and corrupt government, is labelled as unfit and improper !

WHEN INJUSTICE BECOMES LAW, RESISTANCE BECOMES DUTY !
