How can that be allowed?

Yeah, and it sounds ridiculous, doesn't it, when we say it out loud, but you're exactly right.

But, you know, obviously overriding people's human rights is...

It's not a measure that any state should take.

The Human Rights Act in Queensland allows for them to override the act in exceptional circumstances like war, a state of emergency, exceptional crisis.

But all the bill does is say that, you know, the safety and security of corrective services and the broader community must come first.

And the briefing prepared by Queensland Corrections says that the purpose of the override is to reduce administrative obligations.

So it's fair to say then, isn't it, that deaths in custody could skyrocket as well?
