Carseldine billboard causes fear speech
An anti-vaxxer billboard displayed on a Brisbane road has been condemned by Queensland Health Minister Steven Miles.
Miles is investigating whether the Carseldine billboard can be removed, saying that is not free speech but fear speech.
An Ads Standards spokeswoman has revealed the body has received multiple calls objecting to the sign, but has no jurisdiction over such subject matter.
Third shark attack incident in the Whitsundays
A 55-year-old Queensland man was bitten by a reef shark yesterday aboard his vessel at Swains Reef, north-east of Yeppoon, and was taken to hospital this morning after spending a night at sea.
The man mistakenly hauled the shark aboard at approximately 5pm on his fishing expedition, when he sustained the large bite to his upper left arm.
The incident follows two more shark attacks in the Whitsundays last month.
