This bill being pushed through parliament before Labor is wiped out at the October state election but the LIberals who believe they will assume power by default, will not repeal this horrendous piece of fascism presented by corporate Labor.

Labor’s Queensland Community Safety Bill 2024 (the Bill) will provide police with unprecedented powers in relation to social media. There is a real need to ensure that this complex bill does not result in unintended consequences for innocent third party viewing or publishing of content. There is also real concern that the Bill also exposes Queenslanders to the prospect of penalties that may affect their ability to maintain their livelihood, based on their ‘associates’ on social media.

The Shooters Union and KAP member for Hinchinbrook Nick Dametto have condemned the bill and described it as a devious attempt by Labor to try and sneak in gun law changes to the parliament under the disguise of a ‘community safety’ bill.

“What was first promoted as a bill that would make some positive changes to youth crime, such as the removal of detention as a last resort, was very quickly discovered to be just another assault on the rights of those law-abiding firearm owners in our community,” Mr Dametto said.

“I’m just as outraged about the contents of the bill as I am about the egregious lack of time afforded for public consultation and feedback.

“Industry representatives and stakeholders such as Shooters Union were given minimal consultation in the lead up to the bill and that didn’t even cover the entirety of changes that were going to be proposed. It was misleading to say the least and affront to the parliamentary process.”
