OrganisationReferenced in 6 bills
Heavy Vehicle National Law Amendment Bill 2025
This bill reforms the national law governing trucks and other heavy vehicles across Australia. It expands driver fitness requirements to cover more vehicles, requires transport operators to have safety management systems, modernises the national regulator's governance, and adjusts penalties to be more proportionate to the seriousness of offences.
Transport Legislation (Road Safety and Other Matters) Amendment Bill 2022
This bill makes various transport law changes to improve road safety, support people with mobility needs, and streamline administrative processes. It expands the types of motorised wheelchairs and mobility scooters that can be used legally, protects doctors who report unfit drivers, and modernises how speed camera revenue is spent on safety programs.
Defamation (Model Provisions) and Other Legislation Amendment Bill 2021
This bill reforms Queensland's defamation laws to align with national standards, making it harder to bring trivial claims while protecting journalists and researchers who report on matters of public interest. It also fixes a heavy vehicle regulation issue before it causes problems for truck operators.
Heavy Vehicle National Law Amendment Bill 2019
This bill updates Queensland's heavy vehicle laws to implement nationally agreed reforms that streamline administration, improve productivity, and clarify the Regulator's role in providing guidance to industry. It is part of the Council of Australian Governments' national heavy vehicle reform agenda.
Transport Legislation (Road Safety and Other Matters) Amendment Bill 2019
This bill strengthens Queensland's approach to road safety by significantly reforming drink driving laws and improving speed camera enforcement. It extends the alcohol interlock program from 2 to 5 years, requires drink drivers to complete education programs, and expands the program to capture mid-range offenders. The bill also enables point-to-point speed cameras on roads with variable speed limits and improves marine pollution cost recovery processes.
Heavy Vehicle National Law Amendment Bill 2018
This bill strengthens the national framework for regulating heavy vehicles (trucks and buses over 4.5 tonnes) by giving enforcement officers better investigation powers, allowing certain high-performance trucks easier road access, and streamlining court processes for driver fatigue offences.
