✍️ Queensland's parliament is set to pass a controversial bill allowing police to issue on-the-spot domestic violence orders, despite concerns from opponents that it prioritizes 'police efficiencies over the safety and wellbeing of victim-survivors'.
👉 Police will be granted the power to issue 'police protection directives' without a judge's oversight 👉 The legislation has raised concerns about misidentification and the potential for victims to be exposed to increased risk of systems abuse 👉 Opponents argue that the legislation prioritizes 'police efficiencies over the safety and wellbeing of victim-survivors' 👉 Supporters claim that the legislation will save 'hundreds of thousands of hours' of police time
