Housing Legislation Amendment Bill 2021
This bill delivers major reforms to Queensland's rental laws and retirement village regulations. It ends 'without grounds' evictions, introduces minimum housing standards for rental properties, strengthens protections for people experiencing domestic violence, creates a framework for tenants to keep pets, and exempts resident-operated retirement villages from mandatory buyback requirements.
Health and Other Legislation Amendment Bill 2018
This bill reforms several health-related regulatory frameworks in Queensland. It repeals the state's medicinal cannabis approval system (which duplicated Commonwealth processes), establishes a register to track occupational dust lung diseases like coal workers' pneumoconiosis, empowers health authorities to require public notices about pollution events, and ensures freehold retirement village residents receive timely payment when they leave.
