The Queensland Parliament took a step forward in giving institutional
child sex abuse survivors greater, and fairer grounds for seeking civil
justice, but for the LNP and cross bench, it did not go far enough.
Premier Annastacia Palaszczuk personally introduced the bill that will remove the statute of limitations for those who suffered abuse while in institutions. Other measures, which include expanding that offer to those who suffered abuse outside institutions - such as families - will be decided after consultation.
