Any law that means that a group of 3 people meeting for a coffee in the morning could be arrested and locked up for 25 years is a bad law, I don't care if they are even car salesmen.

or, to look at something that did actually happen, deliver a pizza

Carew says he met with the pair, his other brother Scott Conley and another man Dan Whale to deliver a pizza and was arrested several weeks later.

Reply #18 - Feb 21^st, 2014 at 8:07pm The bikie laws are ridiculous and Newman has gone way over the top in his hysterical efforts to defend them. If he does end up in court no doubt the good people of Queensland will pay for his defence and any damages awarded.

Yes, that is correct. There will be an indemnity privilege they can claim, for sure.....even though their (no doubt) defamatory comments were made outside Parliament.

It's just another nail in the coffin. Just keep your eye on the Redcliffe by-election tomorrow, caused by the resignation of a disgraced Newman soldier, and add onto that just about every event of political relevance here since Newman was elected.

If his seat was up for grabs tomorrow, he would be gone, just like LNP representation in Redcliffe will be gone........tomorrow.

Call him out Mr Blood Sucking Lawyer.

Pistols at dawn.

My money's on Newman.

they havent watched Underbelly.. then...where all the "good" guys had well heeled representatives in court.. Roll Eyes

how do you even know if they are good guys or not?

Do you base it on what a politician says? Cause we all know how honest they are Cheesy

I'm not a fan of lawyers, they are nothing but leeches on society, but even a lawyer rates higher than a politician

You can't defame one specific person when speaking about a profession in general terms. The comments were not personal or directed at any one person. "These people" were the words Newman used. If he'd named this lawyer specifically, that would be a different story entirely.

Less than a month ago actually, about the time Newman made the anti lawyer comment. The courts won't play the Newman game so he had a cheap crack at the legal fraternity.

Queensland police can't prove Victorians are bikies
Date
January 23, 2014

The men were granted bail in the Supreme Court in Brisbane on Thursday after the Crown said the case against them wasn't strong.
The men said they were members of the Comancheros bikie gang until July 2012, but then left the group and have had no contact with them since.

The men were on a family holiday on the Gold Coast at the time of their arrest. They had dined out with their partners and children and were walking towards an ice-cream shop when they were stopped by police.
