Justice and Other Legislation Amendment Bill 2019
This bill makes wide-ranging amendments to over 35 justice-related Acts to improve court and tribunal efficiency. It modernises the coronial system, strengthens protections for vulnerable witnesses, expands when property offences can be dealt with in Magistrates Courts, and closes gaps in dangerous prisoner supervision laws.
Crime and Corruption and Other Legislation Amendment Bill 2024
This bill reforms Queensland's Crime and Corruption Commission following the 2022 Fitzgerald-Wilson Commission of Inquiry and parliamentary reviews. It requires the Director of Public Prosecutions to advise on corruption charges before they are laid, extends journalist shield laws to CCC proceedings, and changes how CCC Commissioners are appointed and how long they can serve.
Criminal Code and Other Legislation (Mason Jett Lee) Amendment Bill 2019
This bill sought to introduce mandatory minimum prison sentences for the murder of children and create a new offence of 'child homicide'. Named after Mason Jett Lee, a child who was killed, it aimed to align Queensland's sentencing with other Australian states. The bill was defeated at the second reading and did not become law.
