A new bill being introduced to Parliament this week is set to implement human rights into Queensland law.
The Queensland Act will include a long list of basic rights, such as a right to life, protection from torture and cruelty, freedom from forced work and much more.
Human Rights Act for Queensland campaign coordinator Aimee McVeigh says this is a historic moment for the state, claiming these new laws will be more practical than the laws existing in Victoria and the ACT.
