Queensland residents draws to the attention of the House places in Queensland have been named after British aristocrats and politicians who were slave traders or pro-slavery in their public life.

Your petitioners, therefore, request the House to discover and rename all places named for British aristocrats and politicians who were in favour of slavery or who voted against the slavery abolition laws introduced in Britain in the early part of the 19th century. The first to be considered should be Russell Island named for Lord Russell who voted against slavery abolition.
