Default New law banning bikies wearing club colours?

In Australia there is a bid to tackle outlaw bikies by putting in place laws that give police enormous powers. This means, if the law is passed, that it will be illegal to wear club patches, associate with a known bikie more than six times per year, and will give the courts the power to determine where bikies can go in public. Police will have coercive powers to investigate and confiscate property. The report seems to imply that just riding a Harley will put you under suspicion. Will attending a club organised rally, purely for the ride, mean I risk losing my good name?
Look, I love my country and the people whose job it is to protect me. Is it right to say that being part of a club makes you part of organised crime? If a club DOES in fact have a member or two that does criminal activity in their own time, why does the club have to suffer? Does a suburban street, which might have any number of criminals, get the organised crime label too? Is this proposed law even workable?

This is something that has been common in bars and clubs in the U.S for quite some time. Not all thugs where colors but it stops stereotyping at the door if it is posted. Not all gansters wear baggy pants but if it's posted you can tell him he can't go in since it's posted, same as for colors.
