Fighting Antisemitism and Keeping Guns out of the Hands of Terrorists and Criminals Amendment Bill 2026

Spoke in strong support of the bill, praising the introduction of preparatory offences to stop terrorists before they strike and the government's calm, methodical response to the Bondi attack.

“This is not a kneejerk reaction; this is responsible leadership.”— 2026-03-05View Hansard

Acknowledged welcomed clauses regarding freedom of religious worship but criticised the rushed process, lack of scrutiny of the two prohibited expressions, and argued the bill contains weak gun laws that put Queenslanders at risk.

“Let's be clear, the two expressions that have now been tabled to be included in the legislation were not included in the bill, and I believe that this is a deliberate, tricky tactic to deny appropriate scrutiny by the committee.”— 2026-03-04View Hansard

Introduced the bill as Minister for Police, outlining its measures to combat antisemitism including prohibited expressions, protect places of worship, and strengthen firearms laws with the toughest penalties in the country. Foreshadowed amendments to prescribe two specific phrases in legislation rather than by regulation.

“The Fighting Antisemitism and Keeping Guns out of the Hands of Terrorists and Criminals Amendment Bill 2026 addresses two connected public safety challenges that our community faces: the growth of anti-Semitism and the ongoing risk posed by guns and other dangerous weapons in the hands of terrorists and criminals.”— 2026-03-03View Hansard

Introduced the bill in response to the December 2025 Bondi Beach terrorist attack, outlining new offences for hate symbols and expressions, stronger protections for faith communities, increased penalties for weapons offences, a new drive-by shooting offence, a ban on 3D-printed firearm blueprints, and expanded police powers.

“This bill provides for a range of Criminal Code amendments focusing on strong penalties and targeted measures and addressing terrorist symbols, hateful expressions and protections for faith communities in order to provide a balanced and considered criminal justice response to the rise of anti-Semitism.”— 2026-02-10View Hansard

Condemned antisemitism but argued the bill was poorly constructed and an attack on free speech, criticising the Premier for being rolled by his own backbench and for ignoring Labor's offer of bipartisan cooperation. Acknowledged supporting some elements like protections for places of worship but concluded the bill was a comprehensively missed opportunity.

“In the end, this bill is an opportunity comprehensively missed by the LNP, an opportunity to implement strong, nationally consistent gun reforms that avoid turning Queensland into a safe haven for gun-wielding gangs, criminals and terrorists, and to protect Queensland's multicultural communities without compromising freedom of speech.”— 2026-03-05View Hansard

Supported the bill as a targeted response to anti-Semitism and firearms crime, arguing it draws a clear line against hate and introduces some of the toughest firearms penalties in the country.

“This bill does exactly what it says: it takes specific, targeted action to fight anti-Semitism and to keep guns out of the hands of terrorists and criminals.”— 2026-03-04View Hansard

As shadow police minister, supported gun reforms and religious worship protections but opposed the prohibited expressions provisions as an attack on freedom of speech. Moved a reasoned amendment to split the bill and refer the expressions elements back to committee. Criticised the rushed committee process and last-minute amendments.

“It was clear from the committee process, truncated as it was, that the bill goes too far on criminalising freedom of speech and not far enough on gun reform. You cannot be tough on crime if you are a government that is weak on gun reform, but you can be tough on crime without being reckless with freedom.”— 2026-03-03View Hansard

Spoke in strong support, arguing the bill draws a clear line against hate and anti-Semitism while targeting terrorists and criminals without punishing law-abiding firearm owners.

“Freedom of speech does not mean freedom to menace. Artistic licence does not mean licence to incite hatred.”— 2026-03-05View Hansard

Strongly supported stamping out anti-Semitism and increasing penalties for firearms misuse, but expressed concerns about potential impacts on freedom of speech and duplication of existing laws, while urging vigilance to protect fundamental freedoms.

“While I support the government's desire to send a strong message, we must also be extremely careful that in our response we do not trample on fundamental freedoms, particularly the freedom of speech.”— 2026-03-04View Hansard

As Leader of the Opposition, spoke in support of the ALP amendment to refer prohibited expressions provisions back to committee. Supported stronger gun laws and opposition to antisemitism but criticised the shambolic handling of the bill, including last-minute amendments that bypassed the committee process.

“The parliamentary committee should consider the laws that the parliament will ultimately consider and pass. In this case, the government has forced the parliamentary committee to consider laws which are not the laws that the parliament will consider and ultimately pass.”— 2026-03-03View Hansard

Argued the bill goes too far on freedom of speech by criminalising contested phrases with jail time, and does not go far enough on gun reform. Criticised the rushed process and last-minute amendments as a shambles.

“Criminalising widely contested phrases that the government of the day deem are offensive, with jail time attached, is an outright attack on freedom of speech by Premier Crisafulli and his government.”— 2026-03-05View Hansard

Strongly supported the bill as a comprehensive and measured response to the Bondi attack, drawing on personal experience visiting Holocaust sites to argue that anti-Semitism must be confronted through both hate speech and firearms reforms.

“This legislation is carefully framed. It does not criminalise genuine academic, artistic, religious or historical discussion. It does not shut down legitimate debate.”— 2026-03-04View Hansard

As Attorney-General, strongly supported the bill and spoke against the ALP amendment. Defended the decision to enshrine prohibited phrases in legislation rather than regulation to prevent a future government from quietly removing protections for the Jewish community. Emphasised the bill's provisions protecting faith communities and reforming firearms laws.

“By amending the bill to enact the phrases in legislation rather than establishing a framework for prohibited phrases to be proscribed through regulation—and I note the framework set up by the former Labor government—we are protecting our Jewish community from when Labor eventually get back into power.”— 2026-03-03View Hansard

Spoke in support of the bill, emphasising the need to address hatred and anti-Semitism while supporting law-abiding firearm owners. Highlighted specific provisions on penalties for stolen firearms, 3D printed guns, and storage requirements.

“This is good legislation, but as a state we can access only some levers needed to address these issues, not all.”— 2026-03-05View Hansard

Supported the anti-Semitism measures and commended the government's firearms approach for not targeting law-abiding gun owners, but foreshadowed an amendment to remove sections 57 and 58 regarding quashed convictions affecting weapons licensing, and warned the government is walking on dangerous ground regarding freedom of speech.

“I foreshadow that I will be moving an amendment to remove sections 57 and 58, which relate to people who have convictions that are quashed or not recorded.”— 2026-03-04View Hansard

Supported religious worship protections and the expanded prohibited symbols framework but criticised the prohibited expressions provisions as chaotic, rushed and lacking proper consultation. Argued the government prioritised politics over principles and that the foreshadowed amendments had not been through the committee process.

“Social harmony is built not by suppressing speech but in how we protect disagreement without fear. I do not deny the reality or seriousness of anti-Semitism—it exists and we must confront it, and of course it must be prosecuted when it crosses into vilification or violence—but it is clear that this legislation may ultimately fail our Jewish community because it will create more division, more confusion and more fear in our communities.”— 2026-03-03View Hansard

Condemned antisemitism and welcomed provisions protecting places of worship, new weapons offences, and the removal of the regulation-making power for prohibited expressions. However, raised concerns about the need for proper safeguards on free speech and called on the government to implement the Wieambilla Coroner's recommendations on mandatory mental health checks and participate in the Commonwealth gun buyback.

“It is essential that these laws get the balance right between protecting Queenslanders and freedom of speech.”— 2026-03-05View Hansard

Supported the bill as a reflection of Australia's citizenship pledge values, arguing that hatred directed at any group weakens democratic beliefs for all and that the bill protects social cohesion by drawing clear lines against intimidation and violence.

“This bill is about ensuring that our laws reflect the promise embedded in our citizenship pledge, that our values and beliefs are shared, that never will we accept the permeation of hate in our towns and our homes.”— 2026-03-04View Hansard

As chair of the Justice, Integrity and Community Safety Committee, spoke strongly in favour of the bill. Recounted powerful testimony from committee hearings including from Rabbi Rubin in Townsville and the Victims' Commissioner. Stated the committee recommended the bill be passed after careful consideration of evidence.

“'Never again' is now. 'Never again.' Those words echo throughout Jewish history and the conscience of the free world. They were spoken after the horrors of the Holocaust as a promise to future generations that the hatred which led to such unspeakable evil would never again be allowed to take root.”— 2026-03-03View Hansard

Supported the bill and amendments, praising the firearms provisions for making sensible reforms without punishing law-abiding owners, and defending the proscription of the two phrases as necessary to combat rising anti-Semitism.

“These phrases 'from the river to the sea' and 'globalise the intifada' are sinister phrases and it is entirely disingenuous to portray them as merely a slogan used in the course of peacefully pushing a particular point of view in a public forum.”— 2026-03-05View Hansard

Stated Labor will always support measures to protect multicultural communities and keep guns out of wrong hands, but heavily criticised the rushed process, freedom of speech concerns, and argued the government ignored stakeholder and expert advice.

“The Labor opposition will always support measures to protect multicultural communities and keep guns out of the wrong hands. That includes introducing stronger penalties for attacking places of worship and reforms to gun legislation.”— 2026-03-04View Hansard

Supported religious worship protections but strongly criticised the prohibited expressions provisions as criminalising free speech without proper scrutiny. Noted the phrases were not in the bill examined by the committee and that they are deeply contested even within the Jewish community. Warned of a slippery slope in limiting expression.

“The scope of this bill is to outlaw free speech at the decision—currently, that we can see—of an attorney-general. These are the most extreme powers for prohibiting and criminalising free speech in the country.”— 2026-03-03View Hansard

Condemned antisemitism but argued the bill is troublingly broad and vague, criticised the government for rushing the legislation without meaningful consultation, and called for proper bipartisan cooperation and evidence-based approaches to both gun reform and protecting communities.

“The bill before this parliament is troublingly broad and, in parts, vague. It bundles multiple complex issues—protection of places of worship, new criminal offences around speech and symbols, and firearms reforms—into one package.”— 2026-03-05View Hansard

Supported the bill's strengthened bans on hate symbols, increased penalties for religious worship offences, and firearms reforms including tighter storage and licensing requirements, noting support from sporting shooters in his electorate after the government listened to their concerns.

“I have no hesitation in supporting and recommending the Fighting Antisemitism and Keeping Guns out of the hands of Terrorists and Criminals Amendment Bill 2026 to the House.”— 2026-03-04View Hansard

As a committee member, spoke strongly in favour of the bill. Highlighted testimony from Townsville hearings about antisemitism in regional Queensland and praised the bill's firearms reforms as protecting law-abiding owners while targeting criminals. Described the bill as reflecting Queensland values of fairness and zero tolerance for hate.

“This bill acts with purpose and compassion. It responds to the worst of humanity with the best of Queensland values, fairness, community and zero tolerance for hate.”— 2026-03-03View Hansard

Supported the bill as Minister for Primary Industries, defending the firearms provisions as sensible reforms that support law-abiding firearm owners while cracking down on criminals. Criticised Labor for demonising lawful firearm owners and cited strong constituent support.

“These laws make Queensland safer while recognising that law-abiding firearm owners are not the issue.”— 2026-03-05View Hansard

Expressed absolute support for measures to deter anti-Semitism, stronger penalties for attacks on places of worship, and gun reform, but heavily criticised the rushed process, lack of consultation with stakeholders and faith communities, and the government's refusal of bipartisan cooperation.

“Stronger penalties for attacks on churches, mosques and synagogues, we support. Gun reform we support—though they should have gone further.”— 2026-03-04View Hansard

Criticised the chaotic process of last-minute amendments that shadow ministers had to debate without seeing. Supported gun law reform but argued the bill did not go far enough, particularly in not implementing Wieambilla coronial inquest recommendations on mental health checks. Accused the government of bowing to the gun lobby.

“This entire process has been completely trashed through the committee hearings. The government said that they were going to be calm and methodical and that they wanted to be respectful to multicultural communities. This whole process has been a slap in the face.”— 2026-03-03View Hansard

Welcomed many provisions but raised serious concerns about the curtailed committee process, the narrow focus risking further polarisation, and the need for education and prevention over legislation alone. Thanked the government for removing the regulation-making power but questioned whether the bill would genuinely improve community safety given the flawed parliamentary process.

“Legislation must be underpinned by systems that work for everyday Queenslanders, not against. Zero transparency is not acceptable, nor is the endless blame and politicking around horrendous and abhorrent behaviours in our society.”— 2026-03-05View Hansard

Supported the bill as introducing strong new laws to address anti-Semitism and tighten gun laws, praising the government's calm and methodical approach and noting the toughest firearms penalties in the country.

“This bill before us today finally introduces strong new laws that address anti-Semitism by ensuring the perpetrators of hate speech and anti-Semitic behaviour are shut down.”— 2026-03-04View Hansard

As a committee member, supported the bill as a methodical and deliberate response. Shared a local example of anti-Semitic graffiti in his electorate and emphasised the bill would not target law-abiding firearm owners. Welcomed the new drive-by shooting offence and 3D printed firearms blueprint ban.

“These changes are a direct response to the worst terrorist attack that has happened on Australian shores. Queenslanders rightly called for action on the rising tide of anti-Semitism that had Jewish people feeling unsafe in their homes, workplaces, university campuses and places of worship.”— 2026-03-03View Hansard

Confined his contribution to the firearms component, praising the government's calm and considered approach that addresses the underlying issues of hate and anti-Semitism without penalising law-abiding farmers and recreational shooters. Cited overwhelming constituent support from his social media post.

“I am confident that not only has the Crisafulli government approached this highly emotive issue in a calm and methodical manner but it has found the right balance between public safety and the right of Australians to live in peace free from fear and the rights of licensed firearm holders.”— 2026-03-05View Hansard

Expressed profound sadness over the Bondi attack and support for combating anti-Semitism, but criticised the rushed process and lack of opportunity for all members to speak on foreshadowed amendments, contrasting it unfavourably with the previous government's more thorough hate speech legislation process.

“The changes that we now have before us were not part of the bill at the time the committee was considering it and, therefore, not all members of this place have had the opportunity to speak on these changes.”— 2026-03-04View Hansard

Condemned antisemitism but argued the bill was not the right response, citing concerns from the Human Rights Commission, Law Society and Legal Aid Queensland. Applied the Dunning-Kruger analogy to the government ignoring expert legal advice. Supported workable hate speech reforms and religious worship protections but not the bill as drafted.

“The question before this House is not whether anti-Semitism is evil, because it is; the question is whether this bill is the right response. On that question the government has failed.”— 2026-03-03View Hansard

Spoke in support of the bill, reflecting on its historical significance and sharing personal stories of encounters with Holocaust survivors and visits to Israel to underscore the importance of combating anti-Semitism.

“Occasionally there are bills that are of complete historical significance, and I will look back on the passing of this legislation knowing in my heart of hearts how important it is.”— 2026-03-05View Hansard

Supported the bill as a deliberate and proportionate response to the Bondi attack, backing stronger prohibitions on hate symbols, new offences for prohibited expressions, increased firearms penalties, and tighter licensing and storage requirements.

“This bill does exactly what it says. It fights anti-Semitism and it keeps guns out of the hands of terrorists and criminals. Our response is not symbolic. It is deliberate and proportionate to the threat we now face.”— 2026-03-04View Hansard

Praised the bill as a calm and considered response and highlighted the importance of the Townsville committee hearing for regional voices. Detailed the firearms reforms including citizenship requirements, trafficking penalties, drive-by shooting offences, 3D printed gun bans and expanded intelligence-sharing arrangements.

“We are introducing the strongest penalties in the country for firearms trafficking with a maximum penalty of life imprisonment. Trafficking illegal firearms is not a minor offence. It fuels organised crime. It arms gangs. It arms extremists.”— 2026-03-03View Hansard

Expressed solidarity with the Jewish community but criticised the bill for seeking political advantage rather than genuine protection, arguing the new place of worship provisions duplicate existing laws while adding a hurdle to prosecution. Was cut off by time limit before completing his speech.

“The Premier is doing what he always does when introducing laws—that is, seeking advantage not for the people of Queensland but for himself.”— 2026-03-05View Hansard

As former attorney-general, condemned antisemitism but criticised the bill as rushed and chaotic with last-minute amendments bypassing the committee process. Supported elements on gun safety but argued the bill failed to implement Wieambilla coronial recommendations and did not align with the national approach on gun control.

“This bill rushes to criminalise speech and protest without any consultation and does not go far enough on gun reform. We support the elements that make genuine progress on gun safety and protection for our community, but we cannot support provisions that create offences for political expression in a way that has not been properly scrutinised.”— 2026-03-03View Hansard

As Minister for Police, delivered the reply speech defending the bill as a necessary and powerful response to the Bondi attack. Announced amendments to remove the regulation-making power and enshrine prohibited phrases directly in legislation, and highlighted Labor's record of opposing tougher gun laws in opposition.

“Let me be crystal clear. This is not about stifling free speech; it is about protecting our Queensland Jewish communities from the harm caused by hateful and extremist ideologies.”— 2026-03-05View Hansard

As Minister for Multiculturalism, strongly supported the bill. Argued the prohibited phrases are clearly anti-Semitic calls for genocide and defended the bill as targeting criminals while protecting law-abiding citizens. Criticised Labor for what she described as doublespeak on antisemitism.

“This bill before the House is very targeted because the Jewish people have been targeted through anti-Semitism. It also addresses the issue of tightening gun laws and illegal behaviour.”— 2026-03-03View Hansard

Condemned the Bondi attack and antisemitism but criticised the government for chaos and backflipping on its own legislation after losing control of its party room. Cited numerous stakeholders including the Ethnic Communities Council, Multicultural Australia, Legal Aid and constitutional experts who warned against rushing the bill. Argued gun reforms did not go far enough.

“If the government now wants to criminalise specific phrases, those phrases should go back to a committee for proper examination because clearly there is concern in the community.”— 2026-03-03View Hansard

Supported the bill as sensible changes in response to the Bondi attack. As a former police officer, welcomed the drive-by shooting offence and changes allowing controlled operations to frustrate crime before it occurs. Emphasised the reasonable excuse defences in the prohibited expressions provisions.

“It is important to note for the House and the community that the bill provides for reasonable excuses. We do not intend to stifle legitimate debate in the public interest or prohibit their use for genuine artistic, religious or educational purposes.”— 2026-03-03View Hansard

Strongly opposed the bill, describing it as an Orwellian attempt to silence free speech and intimidate opposition to Israel's actions in Gaza. Argued the bill does not actually fight antisemitism and the banned phrases are legitimate political expression. Criticised the rushed committee process that excluded Palestinian community voices and Jewish organisations who disagreed with the bill.

“This bill is a crude facade and the title of it is misleading in the extreme. It does not fight anti-Semitism; it does not keep guns out of the hands of terrorists and criminals. It is an Orwellian attempt by a dangerously authoritarian government to silence free speech and intimidate Queenslanders into muting their opposition to the state of Israel and its genocide in Gaza.”— 2026-03-03View Hansard

Strongly supported the bill as a necessary response to rising antisemitism. Shared local examples of anti-Semitic graffiti in his electorate including defacement of an Anzac mural. Acknowledged Jewish community leaders on the Gold Coast and argued the bill sends a powerful legislative and cultural signal against antisemitism.

“When those who would deny the right for a Jewish Australian to exist would be as brazen as to cover up a mural of our diggers, what that tells me is that anti-Semitism is wholly un-Australian. When we tolerate a group of people calling for the extinction of another, we are giving tacit permission to those people to erase Australia itself.”— 2026-03-03View Hansard

Condemned the Bondi attack but argued the bill was flawed, particularly the hate speech provisions which he said could more properly be called the 'criminalising free speech bill'. Cited concerns from the Archdiocese of Brisbane, Anglican Church, Islamic Council, Institute of Public Affairs and unions. Criticised last-minute amendments that had not been circulated.

“When you have the Institute of Public Affairs, the Anglican Church, the Archdiocese of Brisbane, unions, the Council for Civil Liberties and peak law bodies—hardly natural bedfellows—all raising serious concerns, you know that there are serious problems.”— 2026-03-03View Hansard

Supported the bill as an appropriate and proportionate response to the Bondi attack. Detailed the legal framework for prohibited expressions and symbols, argued the bill is compatible with the implied constitutional right of political communication, and outlined weapons law amendments including citizenship requirements and 3D printed firearms offences.

“This bill is appropriate, proportionate and adapted to the legitimate purpose of protecting and promoting the public safety of our Jewish and other faith communities here in Queensland.”— 2026-03-03View Hansard

As former multicultural affairs minister, condemned antisemitism but criticised the bill's rushed consultation process, noting peak multicultural bodies were not shown due respect. Supported religious worship protections but argued gun reforms did not go far enough and called for implementation of Wieambilla coronial recommendations and national gun buyback.

“The proposed expressions should go back to a committee for proper scrutiny and oversight.”— 2026-03-03View Hansard

Strongly supported the bill, arguing the two prohibited phrases are clear calls for violence against Jewish people. Defended the legislative approach as narrow and targeted with appropriate safeguards. Shared a personal account of a Jewish friend whose life had been constrained by fear following rising antisemitism.

“You cannot claim to stand against anti-Semitism while pandering to those who call for the elimination of the Jewish people whatever political narrative they try to dress it up in.”— 2026-03-03View Hansard

Commended the government for wanting to respond to the Bondi tragedy but argued the bill's provisions would not achieve its aims. Criticised the rushed 17-day committee process and cited concerns from Jewish organisations including the Jewish Council of Australia. Contrasted this process with the former Labor government's nine-month hate crimes inquiry she participated in.

“Legislation alone is a blunt instrument. Despite the strengthened framework introduced by us in 2023, only a small number of prosecutions have been initiated. That tells us that law reform in its own right is not enough.”— 2026-03-03View Hansard

As chair of Parliamentary Friends of Shooters, strongly supported the bill's firearms reforms while emphasising they would not target law-abiding owners. Highlighted the importance of firearms for pest management in his regional electorate. Supported the hate speech and anti-terrorism provisions as addressing the root causes of the Bondi attack.

“We are not punishing law-abiding Queenslanders. We are not targeting farmers or sporting shooters. We are not taking tools away from people who did nothing wrong. We are fixing the real gaps.”— 2026-03-03View Hansard

Drew on his personal relationships with both the local synagogue and mosque communities. Supported protections for places of worship but criticised the bill as rushed and poorly developed. Argued the paused respect-at-work bill already contemplated many of these changes and the gun laws could have been better developed with proper consultation.

“I am afraid this bill has problems. I am glad we have been able to pressure the government to fix them. We have not seen the amendments, but we think we have been able to put that pressure on. The reality is that, because of its rushed nature, this bill really misses the mark.”— 2026-03-03View Hansard

As a former police officer of 28 years, strongly supported the bill's community safety measures. Praised the new preparatory offence for closing gaps that frustrated officers who could see danger building. Highlighted firearms reforms including stolen firearms penalties, 3D printed gun bans, citizenship requirements and steel storage requirements.

“We do not legislate in anger; we do not legislate for headlines. We legislate carefully, deliberately and with one clear focus: ensuring Queenslanders can live, work, worship and raise their families without fear.”— 2026-03-03View Hansard

Argued the LNP overreached on freedom of speech while being undercooked on gun safety protections. Criticised the government for stalling Anti-Discrimination Act reforms and for not implementing Wieambilla coronial recommendations including mental health checks for weapons licence applicants. Called for nationally consistent gun reforms.

“In what utopian society does the LNP think that proposing the most extreme laws in the country—to give one politician the power to criminalise phrases without debate, oversight or explanation—is okay?”— 2026-03-03View Hansard

Supported the bill as addressing the root causes of the Bondi attack, namely antisemitism and hate. Emphasised the bill makes calm and sensible changes to firearms legislation targeting criminals and terrorists rather than law-abiding owners, farmers and sporting shooters.

“It was early recognition by the Premier that the causes of Bondi were anti-Semitism, hate and the festering of awful values in the Australian society, not a deficiency in firearms legislation in our country.”— 2026-03-03View Hansard

Supported religious worship protections and expanded prohibited symbols framework but raised concerns about misidentification of the Shahada and urged police education. Highlighted the rise in Islamophobia following the Bondi attack and called on the government to unpause the respect-at-work racial vilification reforms.

“Every single Queenslander deserves to feel safe in their homes, in their places of worship, on our streets and when they are celebrating their religious holidays like Hanukkah. That commitment cannot be selective; it must be for everyone.”— 2026-03-03View Hansard

Supported the bill as a consultative and forward-looking response to the Bondi tragedy. Praised the proactive approach to emerging threats like 3D printing and commended the Minister for Police and Attorney-General for their leadership.

“This bill delivers on the certainty we need to display, standing in solidarity with people who, unfortunately, have been left behind.”— 2026-03-03View Hansard

Condemned the Bondi attack and stood in solidarity with the Jewish community but criticised the bill as rushed and chaotic. Argued the Premier buckled under pressure from his own caucus after defending the bill for 17 days and that the foreshadowed amendments were a weak excuse. Called out the government for rejecting Labor's bipartisan offer.

“When the Premier is confused about what is contained in his own bill, how can we expect the average person to understand the implications of this bill? What we are seeing is that the Premier has now buckled and backflipped after chaos and division in his own government.”— 2026-03-03View Hansard
