Bikie nest should not have been kicked

Now that the bikie gangs' "ant nest" has been kicked over they are "either going to go underground" or "spread out all over the place".

The Bandidos' Brisbane Centro chapter has been disbanded as a result of the Newman government's anti-bikie laws.

Nearly a dozen members have handed in written notifications of resignation to the American "mother" chapter, officially handing in their club colours on Friday.

Other Queensland chapters of the Bandidos, such as the West End, Bundaberg and Gold Coast branches, are expected to follow suit in the coming weeks according to prominent criminal defence lawyer Michael Bosscher.

The dissolution was direct result of the Newman government laws, Mr Bosscher told gathered media on Friday afternoon.

Mr Bosscher said now that two Odin’s Warrior’s club members have been charged under the state government's new laws he expected legal challenges to be lodged soon. 

Two members of the Odin's Warriors outlaw motorcycle gang were arrested at their clubhouse on Spence Street in Cairns on Friday.

Queensland proposes tough new anti bikie laws

Queensland makes first arrests under tough new anti bikie laws.

Under the Vicious Lawless Associate Disestablishment Act passed in Parliament this week, bikies are now banned from stepping foot in a clubhouse.

Bikies found flouting the laws face a minimum six-months jail, a three-month licence suspension and having their motorcycles crushed.

The laws not only list 26 groups to be declared criminal organisations, but the addresses of their headquarters, which have become off limits to members.

Police from the Cairns Criminal Investigation Branch searched the Odins Warriors clubhouse about 10am on Friday.

The two men, both aged 47, have been charged with "being a participant in a criminal organisation entering a proscribed place".

It is likely the pair will face court on Saturday.

However, their lawyer is frantically working to have their bail application heard on Friday afternoon.

Lawyer Philip Bovey sought bail for the pair in Cairns Magistrates Court about 2pm on Friday.

But Magistrate Suzette Coates said the case would have to be adjourned until Saturday, because she had no paperwork before her.

Mr Bovey told media outside court that he would continue to push to have the bail application heard on Friday.

Police detectives are now meeting with Magistrate Coates.

Detectives also arrested a 17-year-old Bandidos bikie gang member on Friday over the brawl at Broadbeach on September 27.

The Crestmead man was arrested at his home on Friday morning and charged with rioting.

He will face Beenleigh Magistrates Court on Friday afternoon.

An argument over a love triangle sparked the brawl at the Aura tapas bar, which involved members of the Bandidos and the Finks.

After police arrested several Bandidos involved in the melee other gang members converged on Southport Police Station.

The latest arrests come as bikies across the state ditch their patches in response to the VLAD laws.

Some Bandidos members contacted lawyers across Brisbane on Thursday for advice on their future with the club, while others started dismantling their Moorooka clubhouse.

Long-time president of the Bandidos Brisbane chapter Mario Vosmaer was among the first to resign.

It is not yet clear whether the presidents of the Bandidos' Brisbane Centro and West End chapters, George Bejat and Anthony Toumpas, have also handed in their patches.
