Do not repeal the Legacy Act

What the petition asks
I do not want the government to repeal the Legacy Act. This will result in people interned without trial in the 1970s being able to claim compensation for unlawful detention.
We are shocked that our Prime Minister is thinking of/taking action to repeal the Legacy Act knowing that it will lead to a Tax Payers Government sanctioned pay out to certain people, who we think are criminals. We think this is an utter outrage, a disgrace and an utterly unconscionable proposition for anyone to consider let alone our Prime Minister and must not be allowed to happen.
