Hi
I made a complaint to the Qld Human Rights Commission (QHRC) about discrimination that I received from the Qld Police when I spoke to them about domestic violence. QHRC gave agreed that there are potential breaches of both the Human Rights Act and the Anti-Discrimation Act. I received legal advice that acknowledged that this was the case and specifically mentioned sections of the Human Rights in regard to Recognition and Equality before the law.
The QHRC stated in their letter to both myself and QPS that the matter would be dealt with under the Anti-Discrimation Act. QPS have so far rejected any suggestion that their officers acted unprofessionally and have rejected my allegations. They are keen for the matter to be dealt with under the AD Act. I have reiterated my advice to QHRC that the HR Act is relevant.
QHRC want me to agree to the matter being dealt with solely under the AD Act. They want my decision quickly. I am unsure whether to agree to this.
I would be really interested in the advice that you may have about me gaining justice through this system.
Thank you
