Freedom Family Fun Day organiser Grant Newson with Paul Thompson, from Brisbane<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

November 3, 2014<\/strong><\/p>\n

Numbers were less than expected but that didn’t stop the people who rolled up from having a good time at the Freedom Family Fun Day organised by anti-VLAD campaigner Grant Newson at Wooroolin on Saturday.<\/p>\n

Grant told southburnett.com.au<\/strong> everyone “had a ball” with numbers picking up to about 150 as night fell.<\/p>\n

Many people camped overnight.<\/p>\n

The main act, tribute band ZZ Topzz, proved popular after a day of music which included Muddy Flats, Chris Webbe, Noise Burner, The Cameron Complex and Paul Robert Burton.<\/p>\n

The day had been designed as a fundraiser for the High Court appeal against the State Government’s \u201cVicious Lawless Association Disestablishment\u201d laws which have targeted outlaw motorcycle clubs throughout Queensland.<\/p>\n

All the bands donated their time.<\/p>\n

Grant said the gate takings probably wouldn’t cover the costs so he would be “paying it off” for some time but that hasn’t deterred him from holding another festival.<\/p>\n

“We had compliments about the food, the grounds, the music. It was just the number of people,” he said.<\/p>\n

“But maybe it was good to have a smaller crowd at the first one.<\/p>\n

“If we do it again, we will know what to improve.”<\/p>\n

Acting Senior Sergeant Brad Johannesen, from Kingaroy Police, said \u00a0“no issues” had been reported from the day.<\/p>\n
