Queensland banana breakers

Secretly filming or observing people in private places such as toilets and bathrooms without their consent will be banned under proposed new Queensland laws being debated in parliament today.

Premier Peter Beattie said earlier this week that anyone caught flouting the new laws, expected to come into effect early next year, would face a maximum penalty of two years behind bars.


Its enough to give a guy stagefright! :lol:
So many ideas. So little time.
