Plain English Summary

This is an omnibus bill covering multiple policy areas.

Overview

This bill reforms Queensland's electoral laws and government integrity rules. It caps political donations and campaign spending, creates new criminal offences for Ministers and councillors who dishonestly hide conflicts of interest, restricts election signage near polling booths, and increases public funding for political parties to reduce reliance on private donations.

Who it affects

Political parties, candidates, donors, third-party campaigners, Ministers, and local government councillors all face new obligations and restrictions. Voters benefit from cleaner elections and stronger integrity rules for elected officials.

Electoral funding and donation caps

Limits how much individuals and organisations can donate to political parties ($4,000), candidates ($6,000), and third-party campaigners ($4,000). Also caps how much can be spent on election campaigns. In return, public funding for parties and candidates nearly doubles to reduce reliance on private money.

  • Donation caps: $4,000 to parties, $6,000 to candidates per donation period
  • Expenditure caps for parties based on number of seats contested ($92,000 per electorate)
  • Public election funding increased from $3.14 to $6.00 per vote for parties
  • Third parties must register if spending over $1,000 on electoral campaigns
  • New State campaign accounts required for all electoral participants

Election signage restrictions

Restricts election signs within 100 metres of polling booths to create a more neutral voting environment. Each candidate may display only two small signs near the entrance.

  • No unpermitted signage within 100m of polling booth entrances during voting hours
  • Candidates limited to two signs (900mm x 600mm maximum) near polling booths
  • Signs cannot be set up before 6am on polling day
  • Signs must be accompanied by a person and cannot be attached to structures

Ministerial conflict of interest offences

Creates new criminal offences for Ministers who knowingly fail to disclose conflicts of interest with intent to gain a benefit or cause harm. Implements recommendations from the Crime and Corruption Commission.

  • New offence for Ministers who dishonestly fail to disclose conflicts of interest
  • Maximum penalty of 200 penalty units or 2 years imprisonment
  • Separate offence for intentionally failing to register interests
  • Prosecution requires consent of Director of Public Prosecutions

Local government integrity reforms

Strengthens conflict of interest rules for councillors with clearer categories of 'prescribed' and 'declarable' conflicts. Creates new criminal offences for dishonest conduct and establishes a framework for councillor advisors.

  • Two categories of conflict: prescribed (must not participate) and declarable (other councillors decide)
  • Dishonest conduct offence for councillors breaching integrity provisions (up to 2 years imprisonment)
  • Councillor advisors framework for larger councils with employment conditions and integrity obligations
  • Standardised procedures for filling councillor vacancies
  • Annual reporting requirements for councillor interests aligned with State MPs
