TO: The Honourable the Speaker and Members of the Legislative Assembly of Queensland
Queensland citizens draws to the attention of the House that an infrared gaming unit is defined by having the following characteristics:
1. They do not use a laser
2. They include at least one speaker
3. They have at least one glass lens of at least 20mm in diameter which can be clearly seen at the front of the unit
4. They have at least one infrared sensor permanently attached;
and as such should not be referred to in the Act.
Your petitioners, therefore, request the House to exempt infrared gaming units from the definition of "imitation" which is too broad and also any definition of "replica".
