"A new population of one of the world's most elusive #birds may have been discovered... researchers have captured recordings of its call in #Queensland's arid #outback... Only a few hundred birds are believed to remain in about two dozen inland colonies... it was not easy to find evidence of the #bird, which was thought to be #extinct for almost 70 years, up until 1979."

Note, FYI¹:

The Queensland Criminal Code Act 1899 as amended spells out the exact phrases that are not permitted.

Section 52DA(6)(a) and (b).

This is, IMO, a mistake, as the Act does NOT state that similar phrases or phrases of equivalent meaning are also prohibited.

The Act does this for symbols, which it leaves to regulations to describe, but not for words. Section 52C(1)(c).

This means one could, carefully, change the phrases used (as in some of the examples shown in the images) without attracting the threatened penalties.

I have a suspicion² that, because the Act ONLY specifies the exact English-language wording and doesn't refer to other languages, one could simply write/speak the phrases in another, perhaps uncommon, language; probably not Hebrew though.
