Ah! From the report

The Royal Oak's new management is hoping to "change its demographic",
according to licensee Troy Williams.

So they hope to move up market.

Funnily enough, the Royal Oak is one of the few pubs in P'matta that I
used to occasionally drink in.

I won't be doing that again.

The difference here is that they can call the cops. Previously they
had to do it with their own security. Now they can call the cops who
you can bet will respond with great joy to bang people up.

Having it as part of the licence gives the publican much more backup.

Who deserves it? The completely innocent law-abiding motorcycle rider
who gets mistaken for a member of a patch club?

I guess respect for the rights of others doesn't mean a whole lot to
some people...

That hasn't happened in this case that we know of.

And as we don't know what criteria they are using to determine which
clubs are to be banned and what "club regalia" is, we can't tell if it
will.

In the end, what that hypothetical motorcyclist will lose is the right
to be served in that pub.
