Stephen Drill's year-long investigation lifts the lid on how bikie gangs are controlling crime in Australia, and how they have changed in the last few years. The gangs have gone from hired muscle to billion dollar bikies, and the rivers of rotten cash have led to blood on Australia’s streets, as bikies fight for power. Bikies Inc follows the money - the billions of dollars that bikies are making out of cocaine and ice, and as Stephen starts looking into the gangs, their violence erupts across the country, with shootings at funerals and innocent bystanders dying at the hands of the violent gangs.

Fascinating Premise, Over Reliant on Cop Perspective
Premise is really interesting. Aside from an occasional aside to human rights concerns and law enforcement overreach, the podcast almost completely and sympathetically relies on the perspective of law enforcement. LE officers have an incentive to overstate the threat of drugs, bikies, and other things that go bump in the night to bump their own budgets. Pretty fawning mirroring of whatever the coppers say. I have no love for “the baddies” in this case, but try harder to flesh this story out.
