Waste Reduction and Recycling (Waste Levy) and Other Legislation Amendment Bill 2018
This bill introduces a waste levy on waste delivered to landfill sites in Queensland, starting at $70 per tonne from March 2019. It aims to discourage landfill disposal, encourage recycling, stop interstate waste dumping, and fund a $100 million resource recovery program. Households are protected from direct cost increases through annual payments to local governments.
Housing Legislation Amendment Bill 2022
This bill supports two housing reforms: enabling the Homes for Homes charitable donation scheme to operate in Queensland, and improving financial transparency in retirement villages. Homes for Homes allows property owners to voluntarily donate a portion of their sale price to fund social and affordable housing. The retirement village changes give residents better access to financial information about how their fees and charges are spent.
Casino Control and Other Legislation Amendment Bill 2022
This bill overhauls Queensland's gambling regulation in response to major interstate inquiries that uncovered money laundering, criminal infiltration and other integrity failures at casinos operated by Crown and Star. It strengthens casino oversight, modernises gambling laws to allow cashless payments, creates a framework for wagering on computer-simulated events, and makes it easier for national charities to fundraise in Queensland.
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.
Queensland Institute of Medical Research Bill 2025
This bill replaces the nearly 80-year-old law governing the Queensland Institute of Medical Research (QIMR) with a modern governance framework. It strengthens integrity safeguards for Council members, updates how the Institute Director is appointed, and creates a fairer system for rewarding researchers whose work is commercialised.
Electoral Legislation (Political Donations) Amendment Bill 2018
This bill would have banned all for-profit corporations from making political donations in Queensland, at both state and local government levels. It was a private member's bill introduced by the Greens, building on the Crime and Corruption Commission's Operation Belcarra investigation into the corrupting influence of political donations. The bill failed its second reading and did not become law.
Hospital Foundations Bill 2018
This bill modernises the governance of Queensland's 13 hospital foundations and separately allows Queensland farmers to grow industrial cannabis (hemp) seeds for food. It repeals the outdated Hospitals Foundations Act 1982 and introduces updated rules for how foundations are run, funded, and overseen, while amending the Drugs Misuse Act 1986 to enable the hemp seed food industry.
