Justice and Other Legislation Amendment Bill 2023
This bill makes wide-ranging changes across more than 30 Queensland Acts covering the justice system, courts, the legal profession, elections, and criminal law. It introduces formal recognition of unborn children's deaths in criminal proceedings, reforms identification rules for defendants charged with sexual offences, strengthens oversight of Justices of the Peace, and modernises numerous administrative processes across Queensland's legal framework.
Trusts Bill 2024
This bill replaces Queensland's 50-year-old Trusts Act 1973 with modernised legislation based on recommendations from the Queensland Law Reform Commission. It updates the rules governing how trusts are managed, giving trustees clearer powers and duties while strengthening protections for beneficiaries. This bill lapsed at the end of the 57th Parliament and did not become law.
Trusts Bill 2025
This bill replaces Queensland's Trusts Act 1973 with modernised legislation that clarifies the powers and duties of trustees, makes it easier to replace trustees who die or become incapacitated, and gives beneficiaries clearer rights to see how their trust is being managed. It broadly implements recommendations from the Queensland Law Reform Commission's comprehensive 2012-2013 review of trust law.
