The High Court of Australia has backed the Queensland Government’s Vicious Lawless Association Disestablishment laws targeting outlaw motorcycle gangs. The Police Association of Victoria is urging the Victorian Government to roll out similar measures and to help police crack down on organised crime in the heavy haulage and debt collection sectors. Police are said to be frustrated at the lack of legal powers to carry out checks during a run into Melbourne on 15 November 2014 by the Mongols gang

Victorian Attorney-General Robert Clark has reaffirmed the State Government’s determination to pursue outlaw motorcycle gangs, after recently enacting special legislation to deal with them. This is despite official data showing that just 0.36% of all suspects charged by Victoria Police during 2013 were "bikies", and for violent crimes the ratio was only 0.34%. The Opposition claims that the expensive focus on this small minority of offenders means crime rates overall are rising

A writ has been filed in the Supreme Court of Victoria by Commonwealth Bank of Australia, for the repossession of a property in London Drive, Bayswater. It is the clubhouse of the Immortals outlaw motorcycle gang, which has allegedly defaulted on $A117,000 worth of business loans at an interest rate of 8.3%-plus. The premises, searched by Victoria Police in 2013, house a licensed bar and are the venue of Immortals fund raising activities such as its annual Fancy Dress Schoolgirls Festival
