Work Health and Safety and Other Legislation Amendment Bill 2023
This bill strengthens workplace health and safety laws by giving workers and their representatives more power to address unsafe conditions, making it easier to prosecute the most serious safety breaches, and stopping companies from insuring against safety fines. It implements recommendations from two major reviews of Queensland's work health and safety system.
Community Based Sentences (Interstate Transfer) Bill 2019
This bill allows adults serving community-based sentences in Queensland to have their sentences formally transferred to another state or territory when they move interstate. It replaces informal arrangements with a proper legal framework that ensures offenders can be supervised and held accountable wherever they live in Australia.

This bill is a package of law and order reforms covering knife crime, parole restrictions for the worst murderers, stronger 'No Body, No Parole' laws, protection for police animals, and updated child sex offender monitoring. It aims to improve public safety while reducing trauma for victims' families through the parole process.
