The Queensland Human Rights Commissioner has been carrying out a Review of the State’s Anti-Discrimination Act, to ensure it is ‘fit for purpose’ for the changing needs of Queenslanders!
Currently Queenslanders are living under a system of coercive and punitive MEDICAL APARTHEID.
It is time we all took practical steps to END medical tyranny in our State.
Any Queenslanders out there who still believe in human rights and civil liberties should register their concern at what has happened in Queensland over the past two years!
That includes all those who have been personally affected by the government’s ‘No jab, no job’ policies, or who knows someone who has been.
Please write to the Human Rights Commissioner and urge him to have Medical Discrimination included in the Act.
This will help protect those who are unable to wear masks or don’t wish to be vaccinated.
It will help stop the Government’s plans for mandating endless rounds of booster shots and, potentially, countless other forms of medical interventions deemed necessary on the grounds of “public safety”.
Initial consultations have now concluded, but you can still make a submission if you’re quick.

TIME TO END ‘EMERGENCY POWERS’ IN QUEENSLAND – “WE CAN’T GO ON LIVING THIS WAY”
The Health Minister, Yvette D’Ath, tabled a new Bill last week that seeks to extend the Queensland’s Emergency laws a further six months.
Under the Public Health and Other Legislation (Extension of Expiring Provisions) Amendment Bill 2022, Queensland’s ‘state of emergency’ laws will be extended from 30 April 2022 to 31 October 2022.
By that date, Queenslanders will have been living under a ‘state of emergency’ for nearly three years.
We were the first State to declare an emergency on 29 January 2020.
The Premier said at the time: “Queensland acted early and strengthened the laws because public safety is paramount”.
Since then, we have seen our economy smashed, small businesses decimated, hundreds of thousands of jobs lost and people’s lives turned upside down.
All sacrificed on the altar of “public safety” – along with free speech, the right to peaceful assembly, the right to work, freedom of conscience, bodily autonomy, government transparency and public trust in our institutions.
Even worse, has been the fundamental change in our relations with each other, a change clouded by suspicion and distrust.
This new Bill seeks to prolong all this.
It is also important to note that the Government’s transitional regulation-making powers under Part 9 of the original Emergency Response Act 2020, will remain in place for a FURTHER TWO YEARS AFTER the “expiry date”.
That means until near the end of 2024.
Presuming of course, that the government doesn’t extend the date again for a fifth time!
When the Minister said in her speech last Tuesday, that Queensland must move from “an elimination strategy to a suppression strategy and eventually into learning to live with Covid-19”, her words had an ominous ring.
I suspect she didn’t mean it the way you or I might hope.
In fact, this new mantra of “learning to live with Covid-19” is starting to sound a lot like “learning to live with the New Normal”.
Either way, we can’t afford to let this charade to go on one day longer.
