Casino Control and Other Legislation Amendment Bill 2023
This bill overhauls Queensland's casino regulation following the Gotterson Review, which found The Star Entertainment Group's casinos were facilitating money laundering, had deficient anti-money laundering programs, and encouraged people banned by interstate police to gamble in Queensland. It introduces mandatory identity-verified player cards, cash transaction limits, compulsory gambling limits, and requires exclusion of anyone banned by an interstate police commissioner.
Ministerial and Other Office Holder Staff and Other Legislation Amendment Bill 2018
This bill gives the Director-General of Premier and Cabinet and the Clerk of Parliament explicit legal power to conduct criminal history checks on staff working in ministerial offices, electorate offices, and the Parliamentary Service. It formalises interim procedures that were already in place and aligns with criminal history check powers that exist for other Queensland public servants.
