"The Electrical Trade Union plans to challenge Queensland's anti-bikie legislation in the High Court amid concerns that some members will lose their livelihoods.

State Secretary Peter Simpson said up to 200 electricians with links to gangs fear that they will lose their licence or won't have it renewed once the amendments to the Electrical Safety Act, passed as part of Criminal Organisations Disruption legislation, comes into effect in July.

Those who have been a member in the past, current members without a criminal record, or those classified as associates could be swept up in the law.

"We are not sticking up for criminals," Mr Simpson said.

"If people are breaching the law, if they are dealing drugs, using intimidation, harassing or bullying and it is proven, they should go to jail.

"But the existing laws provided for that.

"There is no need for this outrageous legislation, especially these amendments aimed at taking people's livelihoods off them. It is just disgraceful."


I know - I know - an old subject - but it keeps rearing its ugly head.

And an ugly head it most certainly is.

Yes a bit old, but we need constant reminders of how f.k.n. useless unions are.

I can't see a problem here.

They either were or still are members of gangs involved in organised crime.

Bring it on, I say.

Well - it did say past members and associates with no criminal record.

I suppose it will have to be up to some tribunal or whatever... I believe we could find a Senator McCarthy somewhere...

And an associate is a mother/father, spouse, sibling, relation and kids.....all of whom may have done absolutely zero except 'associate' with a bikie, and even gone to a bikie bar-b-q.

The bikies should be ashamed of themselves for putting their mothers/fathers, spouses, siblings, relations and kids in the firing line.

They wouldn't care though.  Immoral scum.

You're never going to forgive those electricians for your failed electric shock therapy are you greggy.

Until VLAD, it was not illegal to have a child, a relation, a sibling, a father even...who is a bikie.

Suddenly it is.  Guilt even by familial association.  You happy with that Mr Peccarry?

Standing up for their members is being "useless"?

A timely reminder of righturds irrational hatred of unionism.

Thanks, FriYay! :-* :-* :-*
