National BUACA launch a success. (good luck fellas)
The national launch of Bikers United Against Child Abuse (BUACA)
in the Canberra went off smoothly yesterday amid the news that
there has been a dramatic increase in the number of child
abuse-related reports in the ACT.
Members from around Australia joined their local ACT
counterparts, along with local bikers, politician Jacqui Burke,
patron Arthur Veno and a representative of the children's charity
Barnardos Australia, Annette Kelly-Eggerton.
A quote from the press release:
"We are a motorcycle social club, we are not vigilantes, we
are not an Outlaw club, our focus is the welfare of the children
of this country and the help that they require in a realm of
those that would abuse them. Our focus is the lack of
governmental support and funding where attention to the cries of
children have been largely ignored and wrapped in bureaucracy. We
make no apologies that we ride and live in the fraternity of
motorcycle riders, and this should not be open to innuendo nor
ignorance from anyone. We are concerned people that intend to
make a difference no matter how small or extensive or difficult
that may be"
BUACA chapters enjoy support from all facets of motorcycling
including enthusiastic backing from most of the mainstream outlaw
motorcycle clubs around Australia.
