"Queensland Premier Peter Beattie and his Victorian counterpart, Steve Bracks, say they never agreed to shoot-to-kill provisions contained in draft Commonwealth anti-terrorism laws.
The premiers say the draft legislation differs from an agreement the state leaders reached with the Prime Minister at last month's Council of Australian Governments (COAG) meeting."
