Locking in Cost of Living Support (50 Cent Fares Forever) Amendment Bill 2025
This bill was discharged and did not become law. It sought to make 50 cent public transport fares permanent across Queensland's Translink network by amending the Transport Operations (Passenger Transport) Act 1994. Introduced by the Opposition following a six-month trial that began in August 2024, which saw an 18.3% increase in patronage and saved commuters over $181 million in fares.
Transport Legislation (Disability Parking Permit Scheme) 2019
This bill was discharged and did not become law. It would have allowed people who are blind or have severe vision impairment to apply for disability parking permits in Queensland. Currently, only people with impaired walking ability qualify, even though four other Australian jurisdictions already include vision impairment as an eligible condition.
