Child sexual abuse survivors will be able to seek damages from their abusers at any time if Queensland’s LNP is restored to government.
Queensland’s Liberal National opposition has promised to remove the three-year limit on lodging civil claims against alleged abusers if they are elected.
Opposition leader Tim Nicholls said the current three-year limit from a survivor’s 18th birthday denied them the opportunity to claim damages and seek justice.
‘We want to empower child sex abuse survivors to seek the justice they deserve, no matter how long ago the alleged offence occurred,’ Mr Nicholls said.
