Three years and the bikie laws are out, and “we can all move on with our lives”, the Premier has pledged.

Campbell Newman has renewed his government's promise to review its contentious anti-association gang laws in 2016, a condition which was written into the act last October.

There is no sunset clause to the laws, which would have given an end date to the legislation. Instead, the government legislated that the laws must be reviewed “as soon as reasonably practicable three years after its commencement” to decide “whether the act is operating effectively and meeting its objects”.

A “suitably qualified” person must undertake the review and a report tabled in Parliament detailing the outcome of the review.
