Industrial Relations and Other Legislation Amendment Bill 2022
This bill implements 40 recommendations from the five-year review of Queensland's Industrial Relations Act 2016. It strengthens workplace sexual harassment protections, creates new minimum standards for gig economy courier drivers, modernises parental leave entitlements, requires gender pay gap transparency in collective bargaining, and tightens rules around who can claim to represent workers and employers.
Public Sector Bill 2022
This bill replaces the Public Service Act 2008 with a new Public Sector Act that creates a unified employment framework for the entire Queensland public sector. It implements recommendations from two independent reviews — the Bridgman Review into public sector employment laws and the Coaldrake Report on public sector culture and accountability — to make the public sector fairer, more diverse and better governed.
Transport and Other Legislation Amendment Bill 2023
This bill makes wide-ranging amendments across Queensland's transport legislation. It transfers heavy vehicle regulatory services to the national regulator, strengthens road safety rules for e-scooters and bicycles on footpaths, introduces consistent safety duties for all road-based public passenger services, and modernises the process for dealing with toll demand notices.
Queensland University of Technology Amendment Bill 2021
This bill reduces the QUT Council from 22 to 15 members to improve governance efficiency and align with national best practice guidelines. It cuts the number of government-appointed and elected positions while increasing Council-appointed additional members, and requires student representation to include both undergraduate and postgraduate students.
