One of the key pillars of The Harrison Payne Initiative is to influence change and ensure other families don’t experience what we have since Harry was taken from us. This week we had the opportunity to sit in parliament and be part of significant change that is happening in Queensland. We fully support the changes and believe we have played a small role in influencing change. This is not about politics it’s about making Queensland safer and ensuring victims are the priority. How can it be that victim impact statements are ‘vetted’ by the DPP before they are read out by the victim in the courtroom. This very thing happened to us when the dangerous driver was sentenced.
Change is required and we now have a government that is listening and implementing change. This makes our hearts feel a little bit brighter and we know deep down that these changes will help families in the future.
Thank you David Crisafulli MP Deb Frecklington MP Laura Ge**er MP Ariana Doolan MP for your leadership ❤️
