Media Release

A Brisbane family who has a member with an intellectual disability has organised a protest against Queensland’s guardianship laws.

The protest will on Wednesday the 29 August 2007 at 9.00 am. outside the Brisbane Magistrate’s Court, 240 Roma St. Brisbane.
(a client of the Adult Guardian is appearing before a magistrate there)

The protest will open with a traditional Aboriginal dance from family member Baganan Kurityityin Theresa Creed.
This will be followed by a forum chaired by Drew Hutton from the Qld. Greens

Although I have not participated at this web site for a few weeks now, I thought it appropriate to let users who are familiar with me be aware that on August 15th 2007 my husband was killed in a car accident as he was coming home from work.

In case you had any illusions about the feminist's hold on Kevin Rudd. Read his objections to the shared parenting family law amendments passed last year. Its also interesting to note his support for the discredited minority report prepared by Nicola Roxon (minority meaning that she was the only objector amongst the full committee comprising labor, libs and nats).

THE CHALLENGE

Nearly two years after Queensland going to the polls on the basis that the Premier wanted to fix Queensland’s failed child safety system a Child Death Safety Review Committee Report has produced a scathing analysis of the Department.

The Report identified around half of the child death cases involving the Department of Child Safety were not actually reported to a special review committee within
the legislated six-month time frame.

In Queensland, any one of us can have our rights of freedom of movement and association taken off us for a period of 6 months at a tribunal hearing where we or our representative are not present. There is no capacity to appeal or object to this and not even the Attorney General can demand information about this process.

If we want to complain about this, the only people to complain to, by legislation, are the very people who have done it.

For all the people that are trying to find all the Department of Child Safety stories on this site to make it easy please use the SEARCH function on the top right hand side and type in DOCS. Please have a cup of tea or what else you like drinking with something to eat because you will be reading for a long time.
