Queensland has no plans to expunge the record of people found guilty of homosexual acts under historic laws - despite New South Wales and Victoria moving forward with pardons - because it doesn't consider it a priority.

A 2012 Federal Senate inquiry found all state and territory governments should examine ways to expunge convictions under laws which existed in Queensland until 1991 and made consensual homosexual acts illegal.

The Victorian government brought the issue back into the spotlight when it moved to quash the convictions of men found guilty under laws it repealed in 1980.

Both the New South Wales government and its opposition have vowed to support a private member's bill which will see that state follow suit.
