| Summary: | Aotearoa New Zealand has recently seen a growth in outlaw biker membership since the Australian Rebels MC patched over several chapters of the tribesmen MC in 2011. From these bases, they spread throughout Aotearoa New Zealand becoming one of the largest outlaw biker clubs in the country. The Rebels were not the first overseas-based club to establish a presence in Aotearoa New Zealand and would not be the last as Australia deports outlaw bikers with Aotearoa New Zealand citizenship back to their birth country. This paper provides an overview of the two major phases of outlaw biker internationalization in Aotearoa New Zealand while highlighting the developmental and historical changes in this process between the twentieth and the twenty-first century. In so doing we can compare the nuances of expansion within Aotearoa New Zealand and emphasizing continuities and similarities, but also departures from the global experience of outlaw biker internationalization. This article provides an up-to-date account of outlaw bikers in Aotearoa New Zealand up to 2020 since Jarrod Gilbert’s historical account in 2013, extending our knowledge of a little known part of the outlaw biker world. |
