OFF THE WIRE

Court documents filed by police, who have made the Finks the first target of the state's controversial criminal organisation laws, show the tactics of the club's "Terror Team" enforcement arm.
The group even had their own meat cleavers engraved with their moniker.
The young man, who states that by making an affidavit he is in fear of his life, was caught up after his friend was embroiled in a fight with Terror Team member Yassar Bakir at The Drink nightclub in Surfers Paradise.

ONE of the state's most notorious bikie gangs has fortified its suburban clubhouse as the wars between the clubs reach into Brisbane's inner-city.
PREMIER Campbell Newman has blamed the former Labor Government for the flare-up in bikie-related violence after the latest shootings in Brisbane.
A CONTROVERSIAL new law has allowed police to reveal the names of about 50 Gold Coast members of the Finks Motorcycle Club - most convicted criminals.
POLICE have denied bikie violence is escalating despite the overnight shootings at two Brisbane buildings with bikie links.
A CADRE of Balkan Bandidos bikies was quick to adopt a battle stance yesterday, rallying at the scene of a gunshot attack on a Milton tattoo parlour linked to their divisive new Brisbane chapter.
The bikies then told him he had a "$50,000 Fink fine" to "work off", he claimed.
The court documents show he ended up as a drug courier for another Terror Team member, a cage fighter and nightclub manager who "has some kind of control" in at least five other Gold Coast nightclubs.
He was soon delivering "eight-balls" (3.5g) of cocaine weekly to the Finks clubhouse at Molendinar at a discount.
"I used to drop off cocaine at the clubhouse every Friday night for their club meetings," he says.
"Sometimes they gave me money, sometimes they didn't."
The cage-fighting Fink then had him delivering cocaine, concealed "in the front pocket of my undies" to strippers on Orchid Ave at $1000 a gram.
"Some strippers were mistresses of Finks and they would get it for nothing," he says.
Eventually his Finks controller told him he had been called to face questioning by the Australian Crime Commission and ordered him "to get out of town".
He fled to Sydney.
The court documents also show a Gold Coast traffic cop who handed out a fine in 2005 to Finks member Rodney John Lucke for not wearing a helmet, was told: "Don't you know that I am a Fink?"
An associate of allied Gold Coast club Lone Wolf then chastised the cop: "He is a Fink. You should know better than to write him a ticket." The cop wrote it anyway.
So brazen is Fink violence, even the police assigned to target them are at times not immune.
A plain-clothes policeman walking along Surfers Paradise early one morning during the Indy motor race in 2010 with three colleagues from the anti-bikie squad Hydra was confronted by a Fink called Billy Raymond Thomas.
"What are you laughing at," the bikie demanded. He then punched the policeman in the face, putting him off duty for nine days.
