The Palaszczuk government has blocked the release of basic information about climate protests – including dates and locations of photographs used to justify controversial proposed laws – by claiming the details are subject to cabinet confidentiality.
At an inquiry hearing last week, the Queensland police tabled photographs of “locking devices” that are proposed to be banned by the new legislation.
When asked on notice to clarify details about the images, the police responded a week later to say: “the time, date and place of each of the events depicted in the tendered photographs are subject to cabinet in confidence”.
