On yer Bike!?

Having a dictatorial sized majority in parliament was always going to be a giant test for the Camshaft Newbroom putsch. Will hubris spoil the boy? Judging from recent events involving the bikie community ... yes it will!

I'm sure most rational people would applaud strong action to bring allegedly criminal elements of rebel 'bikie gangs' to book. But, if you get carried away with your apparent power base and go too far with the punitive stuff, the whole box and dice might very quickly blow-up in your own face. I think the Q. government has un-necessarily gone past that point with the legislation they are readying to ram thru' their grossly imbalanced parliament. The 'outlawing' bit will probably pass muster if the High Court is invoked to adjudge the legality of the legislation ... but, I doubt the mandatory sentencing for elements of criminal intent, which normally would NOT attract such punishment, will survive the test. The vow to enforce virtual solitary confinement for 23 hours of every day served, also looks to me to have a snow-flake's hope in hell of passing any level of judicial scrutiny. Finally, the proposed establishment of a special prison for bikies shows elements of human and fiscal insanity in my view ... and should not survive the judgement of any rational person, let alone the High court bench.

Pull your head in Camshaft ... before you get it figuratively pulled-off!
