Queensland residents draws to the attention of the House that certain sections of the current Adoption of Children Act 1964 (sections 39AA, 39B, 39C and 39D) are causing distress, anguish, pain and suffering to many people in Queensland touched by adoption because they allow the lodging of eternal vetos against the provision of identifying information to adopted people and/or birth parents party to an adoption before 1991. Further, these sections permit the lifetime blocking of contact between natural relatives separated by adoption. In addition, this petition draws to the attention of the House that fraudulent vetos have been uncovered in the possession of the Department of Child Safety (formerly Department of Families) and that the Ombudsman’s direction that a full review of vetos be conducted has never properly been done. Your petitioners therefore request the House to ensure these sections of the Act are included in the current review of the Adoption of Children Act 1964 to allow Queenslanders affected by these laws an opportunity to seek fairness and balance in the legislation and condemns the current barbaric legislation that is harsher and more restrictive than legislation operating in any other Australian jurisdiction.
