The New South Government has intervened to ban bikie gang colours in Sydney's nightclub hub at Kings Cross.
Police made a submission last September to have bikie uniforms banned at all pubs and clubs in the inner city suburb.But the state's Office of Liquor, Gaming and Racing rejected the push, saying it was not warranted under the Liquor Act.
Instead it ruled that it should be left up to the owners of licensed venues to introduce the ban voluntarily.
The NSW Police Association described that decision as "staggering in its stupidity".
Now Premier Barry O'Farrell has stepped in and says he will overrule the office using the same legislation.
Mr O'Farrell says the ban will cover all clothing and accessories linked to bikies and gangs and will be introduced swiftly
