Brisbane City Councilâs Labor opposition has raised concerns about the censorship of elected representativesâ views during a meeting of the local governmentâs ethics committee that resulted in a Greens councillor being reprimanded for criticism of the police.
The meeting was called on Tuesday for a case involving Greens Gabba councillor Jonathan Sriâs online comments last year describing Australian police as âracist and violentâ when sharing a video of a NSW police officerâs alleged assault of a 16-year-old Aboriginal boy last year.
