THE head of a federal parliamentary committee on organised crime has lashed out at the police war on outlaw bike gangs, saying it was a "distraction" from the fight against the Mr Bigs of the drug trade.

Senator Hutchins said while bikies were involved in the distribution of drugs, police should be focused on the kingpins of the drug trade.
