We get asked this question all the time – the definitive answer is : it IS ALLOWED to secretly record another person without their consent if you are a part of the conversation yourself.
In Queensland, it is against the law to use a device to listen to, record or monitor the private conversation of another without their consent if you are not a part of the conversation. It is also against the law to publish a conversation that has been secretly recorded or to send that recording to others. However, it is not illegal to secretly record another person without their consent if you are a part of the conversation yourself.
