Queensland Election Platform 2024: A fair share for all Queenslanders

While many Queenslanders are struggling with the cost of living, the state’s economy has been touted as the strongest in the nation.

Submission: Queensland Community Safety Bill 2024

In our submission responding to the Inquiry into the Queensland Community Safety Bill 2024, QCOSS outlined that we do not support the Bill. Drawing on the expertise of community service organisations, we outlined that many of the amendments proposed in the Bill are not rights respecting, nor evidence based.

QCOSS acknowledges Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples as the original inhabitants of Australia and recognises these unique cultures as part of the cultural heritage of all Australians. We pay our respect to the Elders of this land; past and present.
