Micah Projects submission to the Queensland Governments' Transport Operations (Road Use Management) (Offensive Advertising) Amendment Bill 2016
The Bill’s objective is to minimise the amount of offensive advertising on Queensland registered vehicles to enforce the Advertising Standards Board (ASB) determinations.
There is a major shift in national and international standards and action aimed at tackling violence against women and girls. The evidence is unequivocal: disrespect and sexual objectification of women and girls is a major contributing factor to the persistent sexual and physical violation of women and girls by men (National Plan, 2010; Queensland Special Task Force on Domestic and Family Violence, 2015).
This is action that Micah Projects wholeheartedly endorses. We commend the Transportation and Utilities Committee for this opportunity to provide feedback on the Bill.
