Domestic and Family Violence Protection and Other Legislation Amendment Bill 2025
This bill strengthens Queensland's response to domestic and family violence by giving police the power to issue 12-month protection directions without going to court, piloting GPS ankle bracelet monitoring for high-risk perpetrators, and expanding video-recorded evidence to all Magistrates Courts statewide. It also improves oversight of providers delivering DFV intervention programs.
Marine Rescue Queensland Bill 2023
This bill establishes Marine Rescue Queensland (MRQ) as a single, statewide marine rescue service, replacing the two existing volunteer organisations that currently provide marine rescue in Queensland. It places MRQ under the Queensland Police Service and creates a clear command structure from state to local level, with standardised training, equipment, and operations.
