Dutton declares war on bikie gangs

Immigration Minister Peter Dutton has declared war on outlaw motorcycle gangs.

More than 80 gang members have had their visas cancelled or refused since mid-2014, including 23 in immigration detention awaiting deportation.

"I want to send this very clear message to people who are involved in outlaw motorcycle gangs: you are causing misery and pain to thousands of Australians who are falling victim to purchase of amphetamines or drugs," he told reporters in Melbourne on Friday.

Mr Dutton said deported bikies were predominantly from New Zealand but others had come from the UK, Albania, Iraq, Vietnam, Afghanistan, Bosnia and Denmark.

Justice Minister Michael Keenan warned the federal government would crack down on people facilitating gang crimes such as lawyers and accountants.
