For you lot way up north with the white patent leather riding boots and safari leather jackets, the PCMC (Parliamentary Crime and Misconduct Committee) is now being chaired by a friend of mine, Steve Davis. For those not in the know, some of the committee members were recently criticized for their views on the outlaw biker laws being enacted (and the collateral impact to law-abiding riders) and nearly all were sacked.
The following BT report is a cute read
http://www.brisbanetimes.com.au/queensland/new-pcmc-chair-steve-davis-concedes-bikie-links-20131125-2y6c9.html The reporter states that Steve is "a former leathers-clad, Ducati-riding biker, he recently sold his Ducati motorcycle." like this is some sort of edgy side to Steve or something, I dunno. Steve's a pussy cat, a really BIG pussy cat but a lovely guy none-the-less.
Not that the PCMC can actively influence the bad law as it stands but it's good to know that there is a decent bloke chairing the PCMC now who has a realistic view about MC riders and is a Duc owner of old.
