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.
Police and Other Legislation (Identity and Biometric Capability) Amendment Bill 2018
This bill amends six Queensland Acts to enable the state's participation in a national facial biometric identity matching system, strengthen police access to driver licence photos, increase penalties for explosive offences, and provide temporary extended liquor trading on the Gold Coast during the 2018 Commonwealth Games.
Police Powers and Responsibilities and Other Legislation Amendment Bill 2018
This bill makes wide-ranging changes to Queensland police powers and several other Acts. Its most significant reforms create new search powers for high-risk missing persons, strengthen the framework for investigating drivers who flee police, enable court-ordered access to locked electronic devices at crime scenes, and streamline parole board decision-making for serious offenders.
