Exclusive: Guardian Australia obtains legal letter that appears to cast doubt on some of the state’s key justifications
It’s worth noting that this current Labor government brought in the human rights act in 2019. So not only are they suspending the human rights act, they’re undermining their own reforms.
I was so excited about the human rights act when it passed. I remember thinking fuck yes qld is actually moving in a more progressive direction and while this act likely won’t stop human rights abuses, it will at least give people a leg to stand on in fighting for their rights. In retrospect I regret being so optimistic about this.
