OrganisationReferenced in 3 bills
Transport Legislation (Disability Parking and Other Matters) Amendment Bill 2019
This bill extends Queensland's Disability Parking Permit Scheme to include legally blind people and doubles the fine for misusing disability parking bays. It also makes technical updates to rail safety definitions to align with national law.
Heavy Vehicle National Law and Other Legislation Amendment Bill 2018
This bill strengthens heavy vehicle safety by requiring company executives to actively ensure compliance with safety laws, and establishes a national database of heavy vehicles. It also significantly increases penalties for dangerous and careless driving that causes death or serious injury, and allows vehicle owners to be notified of traffic offences committed in their vehicles.
Liquid Fuel Supply (Minimum Biobased Petrol Content) Amendment Bill 2022
This bill attempted to strengthen Queensland's ethanol mandate, which has never been met since 2017. It would have doubled penalties for fuel retailers not selling enough ethanol-blended petrol and required that E10 fuel contain at least 9% ethanol. The bill was defeated at second reading and did not become law.
