Crime and misconduct commission: Review of police move-on powers<\/em><\/strong> \u00e2\u20ac\u201c Dan Rogers<\/p>\n

In 1997, police move-on powers were first introduced to Queensland in prescribed places only. In 2006, Queensland Police were empowered to require people to move-on State-wide. This expansion of the power led to a Crime and Misconduct Commission (CMC) review. In December 2010, that review was completed and a report was tabled in Parliament. The report identifies recommendations for both legislative and operational reform. Of particular concern to many community groups is the negative impact that the power has on disadvantaged groups and their lawful use of public space. This article looks specifically at the discriminatory application of the law against indigenous Australians.<\/p>\n
