Housing Legislation Amendment Bill 2021
This bill reforms Queensland's rental laws to give tenants stronger protections and greater security. It ends no-grounds evictions, introduces minimum housing standards for all rental properties, strengthens protections for people experiencing domestic and family violence, creates a framework for renting with pets, and shields tenants from retaliatory action by landlords. It also exempts resident-operated freehold retirement villages from mandatory buyback obligations.
Health and Other Legislation Amendment Bill 2018
This bill makes a range of amendments to health and other portfolio legislation. It repeals Queensland's separate medicinal cannabis approval process in favour of the Commonwealth system, creates a register to track occupational dust lung diseases like black lung and silicosis, gives Queensland Health new powers to require public notification of pollution events, streamlines radiation safety licensing, clarifies rules for tissue removal in medical research including for children, and ensures retirement village residents with freehold units receive payment within 18 months of leaving.
