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.
Water Legislation Amendment Bill 2022
This bill strengthens how Queensland measures and monitors non-urban water use, particularly in the Murray-Darling Basin. It requires water entitlement holders to use approved measurement devices or develop certified measurement plans, and enables telemetry for real-time compliance monitoring. The bill also makes various administrative improvements to water authority governance and water supply regulation.
Mount Isa Mines Limited Agreement (Continuing Mining Activities) Amendment Bill 2024
This bill lapsed and did not become law. It was a private member's bill that sought to amend the 1985 agreement between Queensland and Mount Isa Mines Limited to prevent the company from ceasing copper mining without government approval. The bill was introduced in response to Glencore's announcement to close the copper mine with 1,200 job losses.
