Once declared, these clubs are banned from being involved in the liquor industry — meaning they can't own, operate, or control pubs, bars, bottle shops, or any business with a liquor licence. The list includes well-known outlaw motorcycle clubs like the Bandidos, Hells Angels, Rebels, and seven others. This regulation gives effect to a broader law (the Liquor Licensing Act 1997) that aims to keep criminal groups out of the alcohol business."},"flash_summary_failed":{"failed":true,"reason":"Unauthenticated.
