Brisbane Olympic and Paralympic Games Arrangements and Other Legislation Amendment Bill 2024
This bill bundles together five unrelated policy changes: restructuring the Brisbane 2032 Olympics governance body and requiring a 100-day infrastructure review, abolishing Queensland's treaty process with First Nations peoples, rolling back workplace safety inspection rights for unions, clarifying planning rules for major developments, and making the Public Sector Commissioner harder to dismiss.
Industrial Relations and Other Legislation Amendment Bill 2022
This bill implements major reforms to Queensland's industrial relations system following a five-year review. It strengthens workplace sexual harassment protections, creates a framework for minimum standards for gig economy courier drivers, modernises parental leave, and enhances equal remuneration requirements in enterprise bargaining.
Workers’ Compensation and Rehabilitation and Other Legislation Amendment Bill 2024
This bill implements 26 recommendations from the 2023 Review of Queensland's workers' compensation scheme to improve support for injured workers. It requires faster rehabilitation planning, prevents secondary psychological injuries, expands cancer protections for firefighters, and creates a framework for future gig worker coverage. The bill also increases parental leave entitlements and requires superannuation contributions for Queensland public sector employees.
Transport and Other Legislation Amendment Bill 2023
This bill makes changes across multiple transport policy areas. It completes Queensland's transition to the national heavy vehicle regulatory scheme by transferring staff to the National Heavy Vehicle Regulator. It also strengthens road safety for e-scooter and bicycle users, creates consistent safety duties for bus and passenger transport operators, modernises toll payment processes, and allows overseas visitors to use digital driver's licences.
