Queensland Racing Integrity Commission
OrganisationReferenced in 4 bills
Racing Integrity Amendment Bill 2022
This bill reforms how decisions by racing stewards are reviewed in Queensland. It creates a new independent Racing Appeals Panel to hear appeals faster than the current system, limits further appeals to serious cases only, and authorises publication of stewards' reports online to improve transparency.
Agriculture and Other Legislation Amendment Bill 2019
This bill makes wide-ranging changes to Queensland's agricultural, biosecurity and animal welfare laws. Most notably, it doubles penalties for farm trespass, introduces biosecurity management plans that visitors must follow, and gives animal welfare inspectors new powers to help abandoned animals.
Corrective Services and Other Legislation Amendment Bill 2020
This bill strengthens anti-corruption measures in Queensland prisons following the Crime and Corruption Commission's Taskforce Flaxton investigation, improves the parole system for victims of crime, and establishes a permanent firearms amnesty allowing people to surrender unregistered firearms without prosecution. It also clarifies lawful possession of gel blasters and replica firearms for club members and collectors.
Betting Tax Bill 2018
This bill introduces a 15% point-of-consumption betting tax on the net wagering revenue of betting operators from bets made by customers in Queensland. It replaces the old point-of-supply tax system, ensuring that Queensland collects tax revenue based on where punters are located when they bet, rather than where the betting company is licensed. This brings Queensland into line with South Australia and Victoria.
