QLD LABOR-GREENS PASS ACTIVIST ELECTION BAN- GO FIGURE ! 19/6/2020
You are going to need my previous submission on how this is
unconstitutional here
The ABC story (I burnt their ears) “Changing Queensland's electoral laws at the 11th hour is fraught with difficulties” 19/6/2020 By state political correspondent Peter McCutcheon
Signage and donations and expenditure caps legislation rammed through Qld Parliament yesterday .
Greens voted for this bill in QLD http://www.parliament.qld.gov.au/documents/tableOffice/TabledPapers/2019/5619T2178.pdf
Qld Hansard 18/6/2020 P1452 - 1455
The 2nd reading speeches go from 16th-18th
June here https://www.parliament.qld.gov.au/work-of-assembly/sitting-dates/latest-sitting-dates
report link in the notice papers.
The Qld Dept Justice and AG “In response to Mr Coleman’s comments that
the amendments in the Bill were generally constitutionally invalid, DJAG noted
that the presumption is that laws are valid until such time as they are
invalidated, and therefore there would be no basis for persons not to comply
with the law as enacted.” P71 Code for “we are gonna drag you off again and
what are you going to do about it ?” https://www.parliament.qld.gov.au/documents/tableOffice/TabledPapers/2020/5620T226.pdf I also got a mention on P13, P 36, P44, 69, 70
, 71, P73
Banning non aligned activists from displaying signs at state
elections or anything “capable of influencing and elector” see s185 B and s185F(2) on the link above commences
on assent which was s57 of the bill .
One thing though , the size limits for signs ONLY APPLY TO CANDIDATES, it
cant be severed when the whole thing is unconstitutional , but when the part about only candidates allowed to
be there is gone, there are no size limits for activists. The ECQ will call
cops when you resist removal and it goes from there How the signage part is
unconstitutional is in my submission on my blog https://cynicismcentraltownsvilleaustralia.blogspot.com/2020/01/submission-to-qld-labors.html
Funny thing is, if there are 200
crooks and fascists/nazis running , and each has 2 signs , YOU are the only one
getting arrested for having ONE criticising corruption and facism/nazism
The high court has said its lawful to
ban
donations from certain people and cap
expenditure and to say what it is as long as you provide evidence of “felt concerns” and
evidence justifying the amounts to be capped on the basis of equality and a
level playing field. But they are targeting activists and env NGO’s. So it
remains to be seen whether it will be upheld once the full act as passed is
examined.
