QCCL has written to AFP commissioner asking how social cohesion makes it lawful for police to investigate activity, including legal political activity that does not reach the level of criminal offending #auspol
QCCL endorses Liberty Victoria's Statement on the Bondi Beach Shooting. We must be considered in our response this appalling event. The government was right to hesitate about the Segal report which is a very poorly reasoned document #auspol libertyvictoria.org.au/liberty-vict...
Well the government’s age verification laws off to good start QCCL asked by Bluesky to verify it’s age @albomp.bsky.social #auspol
Tough talk, weak evidence: the myth of a youth crime crisis -the myth of a youth crime crisis - Across Australia, youth offending has been broadly in decline for some time now. #qldpol
The reason trial by jury is so important is also the reason the authorities seek to restrict them: juries can think independently
Fire Ants are no doubt a significant threat. However as with all things our approach must respect basic rights. Our letter to the Minister for Primary Industries argues Victoria does it better. #qldpol @tonyperrettmp qccl.org.au/newsblog/fir...
Anti terror laws have turned ASIO into a secret police force. Key among those laws - those which allow it to question innocent people without any judicial oversight. These laws must be repealed not made permanent.#auspol @tony_burke qccl.org.au/newsblog/joi...
QCCL support more FOI not less. We start with the premise that public information does not belong to Government; it belongs to the public on whose behalf government is conducted. #auspol #freespeech qccl.org.au/newsblog/fre...
QCCL submission on the under 16 social media ban. There have been panics about the effect of technology on children since antiquity, recent examples include radio, television and comic books. We should not panic this time #freespeech #privacy #auspol
QCCL welcomes this decision but we say the use of live facial recognition in public places, public or private owned, should be banned. We should not be subject innocent people to a continuous ID parade. #privacy
Daniel's Law Submission. QCCL accepts it is a fundamental human right of all particularly children to be protected from sexual assault. However, Daniel’s law is most likely to have opposite effect and do harm to innocent people such as victims— #qldpol
Another reason for the government to expedite implementation of #privacy law reform - From location to keystrokes, Australian workers’ data is being gathered by employers – with little privacy protection #auspol
The social media ban threatens the rights of all of us #privacy #auspol www.smh.com.au/politics/fed...
