DICKY BEACH QLD 4551
Total Signatures - 329
Sponsoring Member: The Clerk of the Parliament
Posting Date: 23/7/2020
Closing Date: 8/9/2020
Tabled Date: 9/9/2020
Responded By: Hon Annastacia Palaszczuk MP on 9/12/2020
TO: The Honourable the Speaker and Members of the Legislative Assembly of Queensland

Queensland residents draws to the attention of the House certain religious organisations operating in Queensland have a prime belief that a supreme being created the Earth about 6000 years ago. This is an anathema to many sciences and in particular to Aboriginal culture which is 60,000 to 120,000 years old. The creationist religions effectively deny Aboriginal history and culture thereby breaching our racist vilification laws.

Your petitioners, therefore, request the House to ensure that religious organisations preaching that a supreme being created the Earth about 6000 years ago not receive any State government assistance, exemptions, subsidies or funding.
