Qld citizens network forms to fight civil liberties "crackdown"

Submitted by kimk on Fri, 29/11/2013 - 9:36am

A packed meeting of more than 70 concerned citizens and representatives from community organisations founded a new campaigning organisation at Brisbane's Electrical Trades Union hall on Wednesday night, responding to what organisers called "an unprecedented crackdown on civil liberties in Queensland".

The Queensland Civil Liberties Network was born amid cheers from meeting participants who set about planning a series of protest actions over coming months, including a rally and march to fall on Parliament's first sitting day, February 11 2014.
