QLD Premier Steven Miles said the attack gives “added weight” to the argument to expand police stop and search powers.
Jack’s Law lets Queensland police search people without a warrant on public transport, at public transport stations and in safe night precincts.
Mr Miles said legislation expanding Jack’s Law to include shopping centres will be introduced to parliament “very soon”.
This sounds stupider than I can process.
Are they saying they could have prevented this in QLD if they searched the guy? But they had no reason to stop or search him? Because he wasn’t doing anything illegal?
Eg, like you or I normally going about our day?
