Corrective Services and Other Legislation Amendment Bill 2020
This bill strengthens anti-corruption measures in Queensland prisons following the Crime and Corruption Commission's Taskforce Flaxton investigation, improves the parole system for victims of crime, and establishes a permanent firearms amnesty allowing people to surrender unregistered firearms without prosecution. It also clarifies lawful possession of gel blasters and replica firearms for club members and collectors.
Betting Tax Bill 2018
This bill introduces a 15% point-of-consumption betting tax on the net wagering revenue of betting operators from bets made by customers in Queensland. It replaces the old point-of-supply tax system, ensuring that Queensland collects tax revenue based on where punters are located when they bet, rather than where the betting company is licensed. This brings Queensland into line with South Australia and Victoria.
Betting Tax and Other Legislation Amendment Bill 2022
This bill reforms Queensland racing industry funding by increasing betting tax to 20% and guaranteeing that 80% of revenue flows to Racing Queensland, with minimum funding for country racing. It also establishes administrative systems for the mental health levy on large employers.
