LegislationReferenced in 4 bills
Fisheries (Sustainable Fisheries Strategy) Amendment Bill 2018
This bill reforms Queensland's fisheries laws to implement the Sustainable Fisheries Strategy 2017-2027. It introduces harvest strategies for more responsive management of fish stocks, creates tough new penalties for illegal fish sales (black marketing), and formally recognises charter fishing and Indigenous traditional fishing as distinct sectors.
Associations Incorporation and Other Legislation Amendment Bill 2019
This bill modernises the rules for Queensland's 22,660 incorporated associations and charitable organisations. It cuts red tape by allowing groups registered with the national charities regulator to avoid submitting duplicate financial reports to Queensland, introduces clearer governance standards for committee members, and updates processes that had not been reformed since 2007.
Residential Tenancies and Rooming Accommodation and Other Legislation Amendment Bill 2024
This bill makes major reforms to Queensland's rental laws to strengthen tenant protections in a tight housing market. It bans rent bidding, applies the 12-month rent increase limit to properties rather than individual tenancies, caps break-lease fees, requires evidence for bond claims, and protects tenant privacy. The bill also requires property agents to complete mandatory annual training and allows local government employees to reduce their superannuation contributions.
Motor Accident Insurance and Other Legislation Amendment Bill 2019
This bill tackles 'claim farming' - a growing problem where anonymous callers from local or overseas call centres contact Queenslanders after car accidents, often impersonating government agencies, to pressure them into making insurance claims. These callers then sell the victims' personal information to lawyers or claims services for a fee. The bill creates new criminal offences for this conduct and strengthens the Motor Accident Insurance Commission's powers to investigate and prosecute offenders.
