Reaching out to my local Labor MP produces this:
Dear [x],
Thank you for contacting the Office of [x]. We know this issue has many diverse views, and we thank you for respectfully sharing your thoughts on the matter. There is no place for hate, vilification, or violence of any kind on the basis of race, religion, gender or sexual orientation.
As your local MP, I will always champion measures that stamp out this vile behaviour and keep our community both connected and safe. The Crisafulli LNP Government has introduced new hate speech laws into the Queensland Parliament. These laws have not been consulted on widely, and while the Crisafulli LNP Government had nearly two months to prepare the legislation, the Crisafulli LNP Government only allowed less than seven days for Queenslanders to have their say on this important piece of legislation.
In fact, they are only letting the parliamentary committee have 17 days to consider it, when they usually get a minimum of 42 days. All Queenslanders views are important in respect of this legislation and while the parliamentary committee, Chaired and controlled by the Crisafulli LNP Government Members is no longer accepting formal submissions, we encourage you to have your say by writing to the committee via email at JICSC@parliament.qld.gov.au or directly to the Premier – premier@ministerial.qld.gov.au, the Attorney-General – attorney.general@ministerial.qld.gov.au and the Police Minister – police@ministerial.qld.gov.au.
Any new laws must be balanced to ensure we protect all Queenslanders from unacceptable hate and offence but also do not infringe on the rights of all people to peacefully protest. Our Labor team will be using the next two weeks to speak with our communities and concerned stakeholders to ensure we strike that balance.
Thank you again for reaching out. I trust this information is of assistance.
The consultation time on this issue is ridiculous to say the least. The fact that it is being railroaded through parliament without the time for legislators to even. consider it or how to interpret is Orwellian draconian.
Even if you believe in what is going on right now and are Pro Israel, you should be concerned about how quickly it's being pushed through the government.
