LegislationReferenced in 4 bills
Fisheries (Sustainable Fisheries Strategy) Amendment Bill 2018
This bill overhauls Queensland's fisheries laws to implement the Sustainable Fisheries Strategy 2017-2027. It introduces harvest strategies as the main tool for managing fish stocks, cracks down on the illegal sale of fish (black marketing) with new trafficking offences and stronger inspector powers, and formally recognises charter fishing and traditional fishing as distinct sectors.
Associations Incorporation and Other Legislation Amendment Bill 2019
This bill modernises Queensland's Associations Incorporation Act 1981 and Collections Act 1966 to improve how the state's 22,660 incorporated associations and thousands of charitable entities are governed and regulated. It introduces clearer governance duties for committee members, removes duplicate reporting requirements for organisations already registered with the national charities commission, and gives associations better tools for resolving disputes and managing financial difficulties.
Residential Tenancies and Rooming Accommodation and Other Legislation Amendment Bill 2024
This bill reforms Queensland's rental laws to strengthen protections for renters, stabilise rents and ease cost-of-living pressures. It also introduces mandatory continuing professional development for property agents, removes compulsory superannuation contributions for local government employees, and fixes technical issues with community titles scheme terminations.
Motor Accident Insurance and Other Legislation Amendment Bill 2019
This bill makes it a criminal offence to engage in 'claim farming' — the practice of cold-calling people after car accidents to pressure them into making insurance claims, then selling their details to lawyers for a fee. It strengthens the Motor Accident Insurance Commission's powers to investigate and prosecute claim farming by law firms and intermediaries, and requires additional claimant information to help detect fraudulent activity in the CTP insurance scheme.
