The Queensland bikie peril! - Premier Newman

Things are getting pretty bloody bizarre up there in Queensland now. Newman has thrown in the great bikie peril threat! Apparently the bikies are everywhere and about to steal your very soul if we let them! Or something like that.

So now he's come up with the bizarre allegation that Queensland Labor is getting funds from bikies. And how is this supposedly so? Well from the evil CFMEU union, which has allegations against it of involvement with bikies for debt collection by the Victorian police commissioner. I say allegations, because no evidence was produced by said Commissioner. Also, this is at the Abbott inspired royal commission witch hunt into the CFMEU:

But council for the CFMEU, John Aguis, challenged the Assistant Commissioner to approach the union directly about the allegations. 

"Would it not assist you to inform the union you are aware that particular officials may be breaking the law, without naming them?" Mr Aguis asked. 

Assistant Commissioner Fontana said it would not assist police "when we've got different investigations going". 

Mr Aguis accused Assistant Commission Fontana of waging cultural warfare against the unions. 

"You're not about cultural change are you - this is about cultural warfare," he said. 

Mr Noonan said Assistant Commissioner Fontana had not provided any evidence to support his claims to the royal commission. 

"The Victorian Police have a very important job to do in tackling organised crime and have the full support of the CFMEU," he said in a statement. 

"In his appearance today ... Assistant Commissioner Fontana was able to provide no evidence or detail to back up broad allegations of criminality among union officials in the construction industry. 

"I again today repeated to the Assistant Commissioner our commitment and willingness to assist where the police have any evidence of corruption or criminal behaviour by union officials," he said. more

Opposition leader Palaszczuk has called the claim ridiculous and desperate, and if he had any evidence of the Labor party getting donations from evil bikies then he should go to the police.

BTW when reporters asked Newman how he knew this, he told them to Google it. Or more specifically "CFMEU bikie links". So I did. All I can find are allegations.
