"We made it very clear that we have a zero-tolerance approach to organised crime, to any serious crime in the state," he said. "As you know ... [when Mr Dick was Attorney-General under the Bligh government, the criminal organisation act was as upheld by High Court, where other state's failed, but was never used] we take a very serious approach to this but until anything is implemented, the law in Queensland will remain." The government has committed to releasing the report in full, at the same time it provides its interim response, after Cabinet has considered it. But with a representative from both the Attorney-General's department and the Premier's department on the taskforce, it is conscious it cannot take too much time. The laws had already become a problem for Labor before it came to power – after a promise to repeal them at the height of their public unpopularity, the Newman government's watering-down of some of the most controversial elements, including the pink jumpsuits and solitary confinement provisions, took much of the wind out of Labor's sails.

With public opinion largely turning in support of the laws, Labor instead committed to reviewing the legislation. But it included an instruction in the terms of reference for the taskforce to determine how best to repeal or amend the laws, which opened it up to opposition attack – that the review outcome was pre-determined from the start – from its inception. That attack was strengthened on Thursday, when it was revealed not all submissions had been made public – particularly given Mr MacSporran had indicated in his letter to Justice Wilson he was happy for his missive to be made publicly available. Ms D'Ath was silent, receiving the report in a closed room within the State Law building, allowing only a photo opportunity, but no comment. Mr Dick said the government would follow through on its commitment.

"I think the history of this matter's very clear," he said. "We made a commitment to review the law. We don't want to have a situation in Queensland, as existed, where law-abiding motorcyclists were pulled to the side of the road by the police service, having their Sunday ride interfered with. "The law was rammed through the parliament. There was no public consultation on it. We undertook to review it as part of the election. We were elected on that platform. We've conducted the review. We will consider the report. "We'll consider it carefully before we make any decisions about changing the law in Queensland."
