Government Censorship of Lawyers
As a result of a new Queensland law, lawyers here now risk being disbarred for informing the public about their access to justice rights concerning personal injury compensation.
Websites, newsletters, advertisements and any other public information designed to let consumers know about important features of our justice system, are all censored.
Lawyers are even at risk for telling the public about the censorship!
These draconian provisions - entirely contrary to the notion of free speech - were made law as a result of insurance company lobbying to protect insurance company profits.
Meanwhile Insurers post record profits - more than $15 billion since the start of the new laws - and executives continue to receive lavish multi-million dollar salaries.
Freedom of speech is important to me. The Queensland government must lift restrictions on discussion of personal injury compensation.
Yours faithfully,
