Crime and Corruption and Other Legislation Amendment Bill 2024
This bill reforms the Crime and Corruption Commission (CCC) following several review reports that found problems with the agency's powers, culture and oversight. It streamlines the CCC's investigation powers, introduces journalist shield laws for CCC proceedings, requires the Director of Public Prosecutions to review corruption charges before they are laid, and sets a fixed seven-year non-renewable term for CCC commissioners.
Public Records Bill 2023
This bill replaces the Public Records Act 2002 with a modernised law governing how Queensland's government records are created, managed and made accessible to the public. It updates definitions to cover digital records, strengthens protections against unlawful destruction of records, and recognises the importance of public records for Aboriginal peoples and Torres Strait Islander peoples.
