Stop neighbours right to position CCTV viewing your yard - Queensland, Australia.

The issue

Your neighbour is legally allowed to position their CCTV wherever they like.  Therefore, they can legally view your backyard in Queensland.  It is only illegal, if they are pointed at a bathroom, pool area or an area where you might be changing clothing. This takes away your right to enjoy the peaceful privacy of your home and backyard.  It is un-Australian without your mutual consent.

Please sign this petition to lobby for a change to the law.  Owners of CCTV should only have the right to position their CCTV, so it can capture images of public areas i.e. footpaths, roads, walkways and/or their own home, yard or business.  Thus, enabling them to protect their family, home and other assets; but not provide them the opportunity to invade your privacy.
