This petition is important.

It proposes one of the most important changes to how police are held accountable that has ever been proposed since the implementation of the Crime and Justice Commission after the Fitzgerald Inquiry.

The Crime and Corruption Commission as it is known now is a very watered down version of what was initially intended. It has officers seconded from Queensland Police, and now has general crime fighting powers that used to be the sole jurisdiction of Qld Police. How can they then investigate wrongdoing in an agency it collaborates with?

Please share this petition far and wide - if you can't do that, then get just one other person to sign it. It may be your mother, father, sister or brother, maybe your partner, or just a friend. It does not matter who they are, just that their signature is on this petition.

A very warm thanks to those who have already signed.
