Local Government Electoral (Implementing Stage 1 of Belcarra) and Other Legislation Amendment Bill 2018
This bill bans political donations from property developers at both local and state government levels, and strengthens how councillors must declare and manage conflicts of interest. It implements recommendations from the Crime and Corruption Commission's Operation Belcarra investigation into local government corruption risks.
Youth Justice (Monitoring Devices) Amendment Bill 2025
This bill extends Queensland's trial of electronic monitoring devices for children on bail by one year, to 30 April 2026. The extension allows the government to properly evaluate whether the devices are effective at reducing reoffending before deciding the trial's future.
Public Health and Other Legislation (Public Health Emergency) Amendment Bill 2020
This bill gives Queensland authorities emergency powers to respond to the COVID-19 pandemic. It allows the Chief Health Officer to issue binding directions restricting movement and gatherings, order isolation and quarantine, and close facilities. It also provides flexibility for elections and planning approvals during the emergency.
Criminal Code and Other Legislation Amendment Bill 2019
This bill responds to community concern that sentences for people who kill children are too lenient. It requires courts to treat a child's vulnerability as an aggravating factor when sentencing for manslaughter, expands the definition of murder to include reckless indifference to human life, and increases the penalty for failing to provide necessaries to dependants.
