LegislationReferenced in 8 bills
Casino Control and Other Legislation Amendment Bill 2022
This bill implements reforms across gambling, wagering and charitable fundraising sectors following casino integrity failures in other states. It strengthens casino regulation with new duties and penalties up to $50 million, modernises gambling laws for cashless payments, allows betting on simulated racing events at retail outlets, extends New Year's Eve gaming hours, and lets nationally-registered charities fundraise in Queensland without separate state approval.
Criminal Code (Consent and Mistake of Fact) and Other Legislation Amendment Bill 2020
This bill makes changes across several unrelated areas of law. Most significantly, it clarifies consent laws for sexual offences by putting existing case law into the Criminal Code, making it clearer that silence is not consent and that voluntary intoxication is no excuse. It also extends police banning notices, bans predatory wagering marketing, and ensures victims of solicitor fraud receive full compensation.
COVID-19 Emergency Response and Other Legislation Amendment Bill 2020
This bill extends Queensland's COVID-19 emergency laws from 31 December 2020 to 30 April 2021, allowing continued pandemic response measures. It also makes separate changes to how council vacancies are filled, supports artisan distillers, and extends the Small Business Commissioner role.
Casino Control and Other Legislation Amendment Bill 2023
This bill overhauls Queensland's casino regulation following the Gotterson Review, which found The Star Entertainment Group's casinos were facilitating money laundering, had deficient anti-money laundering programs, and encouraged people banned by interstate police to gamble in Queensland. It introduces mandatory identity-verified player cards, cash transaction limits, compulsory gambling limits, and requires exclusion of anyone banned by an interstate police commissioner.
Revenue Legislation Amendment Bill 2022
This bill implements major revenue changes from the 2021-22 and 2022-23 State Budgets. It reforms land tax to account for interstate property holdings, introduces higher coal royalties during high price periods, creates a mental health levy on large employers, and provides various stamp duty exemptions for small businesses, retirement visa holders, and deceased estates.
Justice and Other Legislation (COVID-19 Emergency Response) Amendment Bill 2020
This bill amends over 20 Queensland Acts to respond to the COVID-19 public health emergency. It provides financial relief for businesses and individuals, expands emergency powers for health and corrective services, and gives government agencies operational flexibility during the pandemic. Most provisions were set to expire on 31 December 2020.
Transport and Other Legislation (Road Safety, Technology and Other Matters) Amendment Bill 2020
This bill introduces the Digital Licence App allowing Queenslanders to carry driver licences and photo ID on their smartphones, and extends automated camera enforcement to catch drivers using mobile phones and not wearing seatbelts. It also makes various technical improvements to transport legislation.
Public Health and Other Legislation (Further Extension of Expiring Provisions) Amendment Bill 2021
This bill extended Queensland's COVID-19 emergency measures from September 2021 to April 2022, continuing public health powers, quarantine requirements, and economic protections while vaccines were being rolled out. It also improved the quarantine fee system by allowing prepayment and third-party liability arrangements for traveller cohorts like seasonal workers.
