LL:DDQ: No New Police Powers
Picket Parliament 12 Noon, Thursday 18th of May 2000 No New Police Powers. The Beattie Labour Government is introducing new police powers to further erode the rights and freedoms of Queenslanders. Just like the Nationals before them. The baying of the "law and order" lobby means that an election must be in the air. And should we sacrifice young and marginalised people for politicians' careers? Among the laws being put before Parliament are:- Police to have the discretion to refer people to "Drug Diversion" for minor cannabis offences, but only after a guilty plea. And Police Minister Barton promises that those refusing "diversion" or reoffending "will feel the full force of the law". We are not rehabilitated! Police to have the powers to conduct "covert operations". This will mean that they can sell you drugs and use them with you , then bust you for it. And the police are one of the groups in the "independant" review body. After the revelations of the Carter inquiry that a high ranking police officer code named "God" was allegedly controlling the drug traffic in Queensland, who can trust police with these powers. These moves have been widely criticised by civil liberties. DNA testing to be expanded to suspects and prisoners by force if necessary in order to expand the national DNA database. We must unite and fight these police state measures. Picket Parliament. 12 noon Thursday 18th May 2000 organised by HEMP P.O.
