This week South Australian police have used the state’s new bikie laws to request control orders, limiting the activities of two members of the Finks bikie club.

It remains unknown whether or not these bikies have committed previous crimes, because South Australian laws restrict the release of criminal records.

Democrat and Green members of South Australia’s upper house, say that the secrecy surrounding the new laws is excessive.

There are also concerns that innocent people could get caught up in the laws by associating with people placed under a control order.

It is a crime to associate with people who have been placed under a control order, but the list of people who have been placed under these orders is not made public.

South Australian Greens MP, Mark Parnell, has called for the names of everyone subject to a control order to be released.

Tim Roxburgh asked him how the control orders operate.
