Fire Ants — Queensland Council for Civil Liberties Acknowledging then that the government has a legitimate interest in combating fire ants, that interest must be weighed against the fundamental interests protected by the right to privacy and particula...

Fire Ants are no doubt a significant threat. However as with all things our approach must respect basic rights. Our letter to the Minister for Primary Industries argues Victoria does it better. #qldpol @tonyperrettmp qccl.org.au/newsblog/fir...

Joint CCLs submission on ASIO Questioning warrants — Queensland Council for Civil Liberties In democratic polities, intelligence organisations have been permitted to operate in secret and without the public accountability mechanisms that apply to police because they neither produce evidence,...

Anti terror laws have turned ASIO into a secret police force. Key among those laws - those which allow it to question innocent people without any judicial oversight. These laws must be repealed not made permanent.#auspol @tony_burke qccl.org.au/newsblog/joi...

QCCL submission on the under 16 social media ban. There have been panics about the effect of technology on children since antiquity, recent examples include radio, television and comic books. We should not panic this time #freespeech #privacy #auspol

Kmart’s use of facial recognition to tackle refund fraud unlawful, Privacy Commissioner finds The Privacy Commissioner has found that Kmart breached Australians’ privacy by collecting their personal and sensitive information through a facial recognition technology system.

QCCL welcomes this decision but we say the use of live facial recognition in public places, public or private owned, should be banned. We should not be subject innocent people to a continuous ID parade. #privacy

Daniel's Law submission — Queensland Council for Civil Liberties Sex offender registries create a false sense of security because most perpetrators of sex offences are known to their victims or their families. In 2015 around 75% of sexual assault victims knew their...

Daniel's Law Submission. QCCL accepts it is a fundamental human right of all particularly children to be protected from sexual assault. However, Daniel’s law is most likely to have opposite effect and do harm to innocent people such as victims— #qldpol

After 4 years of repressive Taliban rule, Afghans are suffering in silence. Is the world still watching? Russia and China have started to bring the Taliban in from the cold. The international community may soon have little leverage to pressure the group to change.

The Taliban’s brand of repression will continue impact women’s rights far beyond Afghanistan’s borders. #humanrights
