Petition updateStop allowing “gay panic” as an excuse for murder in AustraliaQueensland's "gay panic" law - silence....

Today I was on ABC News about the disgraceful "gay panic" law still legal in Queensland – and the government's silence. A man was brutally killed in my church's grounds, and one of his killers used this homophobic defence. They were eventually acquitted of murder. Yet the Labor government is standing by as this dangerous, disgusting law is on our books – I can't believe their delays. They promised to remove it, but there's been no action since they got elected... Please can you share this image on your Facebook to help tell the Premier Palaszczuk to stop delaying! http://bit.ly/1Y0hEQj Here's the article today in the ABC: http://www.abc.net.au/news/2016-03-30/gay-panic-defence-in-queensland-abolition-overdue/7284284 Thanks, Father Paul Kelly P.S. If you want to email in to the government asking them to change these laws this year, email here: attorney@ministerial.qld.gov.au
