ok forget viets and sudanese, for a moment.

what about more afluent ethnic groups like serbs and croats that always end up fighting each other at sporting events etc, soccer and even tennis?

is this also related to their recent immigration or perhaps their low incomes?

considering they are now in their 3rd generation i doubt it's because of recent arrival, and as i said earlier they are not poor. perhaps they should have thrown away these cultural hatreds and embarced australian ideas.

and ausnat the philo communities in blacktown are cool Cheesy

Similar to the bikies (generally). If neither side make any complaints/charges, is hard for the cops to do anything ??

States, fed govt to tackle outlaw bikies
Reply #24 - Jun 26^th, 2007 at 6:05pm

I think that at least in Australia, you need something more than mutual aid and defence to motivate people to join gangs, such as profit from illegal activities.

http://www.smh.com.au/news/National/States-fed-govt-to-tackle-outlaw-bikies/2007/06/28/1182624069662.html

A crackdown on outlaw bikie gangs has moved a step closer with the states and federal governments agreeing to set up a working group to examine changes to the law.

Federal Justice Minister David Johnston on Thursday said the states and territories, and New Zealand, had reached an agreement with the commonwealth to establish the group during a police ministers' meeting in Wellington.

"We are not looking at attacking middle-aged groups of men who drive motorbikes for enjoyment. We are looking at bringing an end to the organised crime perpetuated by outlaw motorcycle gangs," he said in a statement.

"Currently, the Australian government, the states and the territories have different systems for dealing with gangs and clearly this is not having enough impact on reducing organised crime."

The working group would examine "criminal organisation" offences which exist in Europe and North America and draw on lessons their law enforcement agencies had learned, Senator Johnston said.
