               4.  Your right to freedom from forced work
           A person must not be forced to work or be made a slave. A person is a slave when someone else
           has complete control over them.
               5.  Your right to freedom of movement
           People can stay in or leave Queensland whenever they want to as long as they are here lawfully.
           They can move around freely within Queensland and choose where they live.
               6.  Your right to freedom of thought, conscience, religion and belief
           People have the freedom to think and believe what they want — for example, religion. They can do
           this in public or private, as part of a group or alone.
               7.  Your right to freedom of expression
           People are free to say what they think and want to say. They have the right to find, receive and share
           information and ideas. In general, this right may be limited to respect the rights and reputation of
           other people, or for the protection of public safety and order.
               8.  Your right to peaceful assembly and freedom of association
           People have the right to join groups and to meet peacefully.
               9.  Your right to taking part in public life
           Every person has the right to take part in public life, such as the right to vote or run for public office.
               10. Property rights
           People are protected from having their property taken, unless the law says it can be taken.
               11. Your right to privacy and reputation
           Everyone has the right to keep their lives private. Your family, home or personal information cannot
           be interfered with, unless the law allows it.
               12. Your right to protection of families and children
           Families are entitled to protection. Children have the same rights as adults with added protection
           according to their best interests.
               13. Cultural Rights — Generally
           People can have different family, religious or cultural backgrounds. They can enjoy their culture,
           declare and practice their religion and use their languages.
               14. Cultural Rights — Aboriginal Peoples and Torres Strait Islander Peoples
           Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in Queensland hold distinct cultural rights. They include
           the rights to practice their beliefs and teachings, use their languages, protect and develop their
           kinship ties, and maintain their relationship with the lands, seas and waterways.
