Public-Private Partnership (Transparency and Accountability) Bill 2024
This bill would have required the Queensland Government to be more open about Public-Private Partnerships (PPPs) used to deliver major infrastructure like roads, hospitals, and Olympic venues. It responded to audit findings that the public has limited visibility into whether these deals represent value for money. The bill lapsed at the end of the 57th Parliament and did not become law.
Information Privacy and Other Legislation Amendment Bill 2023
This bill strengthens how Queensland government agencies protect and handle personal information. It requires agencies to notify people when data breaches occur, creates consistent privacy principles across government, and gives the Information Commissioner stronger powers to investigate privacy issues. It also streamlines how people can access and correct their personal information held by government.
