    Rees under guard on bikie payback fears

    Armed police are guarding the homes of NSW Premier Nathan Rees and some of his senior ministers round the clock over fears of payback from outlaw bikie gangs.

    Within hours of the passing of laws on Friday giving the courts the power to declare the gangs illegal, police orders were issued to assign extra officers to watch over Mr Rees and Police Minister Tony Kelly.

    The Daily Telegraph says police sources have confirmed that several politicians' homes are being monitored around the clock.

    Government sources said the level of protection was unprecedented for a premier.

    A spokesman for Mr Rees said his office would not comment on the additional security arrangements.

    The paper said it could not be confirmed whether any direct threats had been made to the premier or any of his ministers or whether it was a precautionary measure.

    Premier Nathan Rees and senior ministers are reportedly under around the clock armed police guard.

     

    WOW THATS REALLY SUPRISING.

    More tax payers money wasted, and if people didnt treat people like shit they would have no reason to hide and be protected. . . Im sick of this bullshit.

    and give the Police new powers to stop and search anyone

    Just don't ask the boys in blue about your rights
