Police Powers and Responsibilities (Making Jack’s Law Permanent) and Other Legislation Amendment Bill 2025
This bill makes Jack's Law permanent and significantly expands police powers to use hand held scanners to detect knives in public places across Queensland. It also extends counter-terrorism detention powers for 15 years, clarifies Marine Rescue Queensland's ability to receive charitable donations, and validates historical SES member appointments.
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.
Justice Legislation (Links to Terrorist Activity) Amendment Bill 2018
This bill implements a national agreement to restrict bail and parole for people with links to terrorism. It reverses the usual presumption in favour of release, requiring courts to refuse bail and parole unless 'exceptional circumstances' exist. The changes apply to adults and children who have been convicted of terrorism offences, are subject to Commonwealth control orders, or have promoted terrorism.
Information Privacy and Other Legislation Amendment Bill 2023
This bill strengthens how Queensland government agencies protect and handle personal information. It requires agencies to notify people when data breaches occur, creates consistent privacy principles across government, and gives the Information Commissioner stronger powers to investigate privacy issues.
