Bikie legislation to bypass checks and balances

The state government is set to push its anti-bikie legislation through parliament first and ask questions later.

Premier Campbell Newman on Tuesday said the government would bypass the parliamentary committee process which scrutinises new laws and go straight to a vote on the controversial laws when parliament sits next week.

Given the LNP government's majority, there is no chance the laws won't pass.

However he said the government was not ruling out a "sunset clause" on the "fairly draconian laws" and he did not want to see them "on the books for one second longer than they are required".

"Next week these laws will pass," he said.

"The civil libertarians and the commentators will have their chance then to pass judgment on whether those laws are effective, and we will listen as a government, but we need to put them through because Queenslanders want action. They want action now.

"Having said that, I will listen to the debate down the track to see how the laws work. I am more than happy to change them, indeed remove them."

The anti-racketeering laws will target criminal motorcycle gang members' income streams and ability to gather together.

Mr Newman had already decreed that the gangs would no longer to be referred to as "outlaw" in government and police documentation, as the word added to their mystique.
