Cabinet minister Peter Dutton is refusing to be intimidated by outlaw motorcycle gang members campaigning against him in his Brisbane seat.

The immigration minister has cancelled the visas of more than 90 foreign national bikie gang members who have served time in Australian prisons.

"I'm not going to be intimidated by these people," he told Sky News on Thursday.

Mr Dutton accused the CFMEU and Labor Party of being in cahoots with the bikies.

"They are out waving the many scare campaign placards and corflutes," he said.
