Qld govt 'must release bikie submissions'

Queensland Premier Annastacia Palaszczuk has been urged to publicly release a secret submission from the corruption watchdog supporting the state's anti-bikie laws.

A taskforce reviewing the Vicious Lawless Association Disestablishment (VLAD) legislation, introduced by the former Newman government, is due to hand its recommendations to the government on Thursday.

But Attorney-General Yvette D'Ath says she won't publicly release the Organised Crime Legislation Taskforce's report, or the government's response, until after cabinet meets on Monday.

A partly-redacted Crime and Corruption Commission (CCC) submission to the taskforce, obtained by The Courier-Mail newspaper through a right to information application, has warned outlaw motorcycle gangs (OMCGs) like the Hells Angels, Nomads, Finks and Bandidos, were "seeking to gain a foothold" in Queensland.

"Several OMCGs have sought to establish or re-establish a presence on the Gold Coast after their influence waned in the wake of the 2013 'crackdown'," CCC chair Alan MacSporran reportedly said in the submission.

It comes after Superintendent Jim Keogh publicly warned of a bikie turf war if the VLAD laws were watered down.

Opposition police spokesman Jarrod Bleijie said he suspected the government was deliberately keeping the CCC's submission secret because it went against the government's plan to water down the laws.

"I call on the premier (Ms Palaszczuk) today to intervene and get these documents released ... so Queenslanders can have a better understanding of exactly what's going on," he said.

Shadow Attorney-General Ian Walker said it was "amazing" the government wasn't going to publicly release the report immediately, despite doing so with others, like the Queensland Organised Crime Commission of Inquiry's report, which was critical of the Liberal National Party (LNP).

"I think the government's finding itself in a very embarrassing position about this," Mr Walker said.

"It voted for this legislation when it came through parliament ... and yet it's committed as an election commitment to repeal the legislation, it's set up a taskforce to repeal the legislation."

Mr Walker said Labor MPs would be aware of the support the laws had in the community.

He said the LNP was insisting that an independent review always intended to be held in October still go ahead, given it would not be politically motivated.

"That'll be a review that'll be a fair dinkum, open-minded review with no starting point that the laws should be repealed or otherwise," he said.

When asked whether the LNP would support the findings of that review if it deemed the laws should be watered down, Mr Walker replied: "We'll have to see what that review entails."
