Pretty sweeping statement there. To quote from the relevant Qld Govt Website: "The blue card check is more than a police check, it looks at a charge or conviction for any offence in Australia , even if no conviction was recorded (this includes spent convictions, pending and non-conviction charges)." So investigation goes way beyond any child related offences. For example, a conviction (or worse an unconvicted charge of possession of Cannabis) would be looked at. I have the suspicion that plenty of volunteer Firies would not want to reveal such a charge (or similar) just to risk their lives putting out fires. Just sayin!

My objective view at first sided with skipdouglas, then I read Quingees post and that changed everything. If they want to identify convicted pedos fine, they are going much too far with the demand though. It is insidious the way only governments can be.
