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.
