Building Industry Fairness (Security of Payment) and Other Legislation Amendment Bill 2020
This bill overhauls Queensland's building industry payment protections by replacing project bank accounts with a new statutory trust system that holds subcontractor money in trust. It also cracks down on fraudulent behaviour in the industry, introduces a demerit point system for building certifiers, strengthens regulation of architects and engineers, and preserves review rights for retirement village transition plans.
Co-operatives National Law Bill 2020
This bill replaces Queensland's Cooperatives Act 1997 with the Co-operatives National Law, a nationally harmonised framework already adopted by every other Australian state and territory. It modernises how co-operatives are formed, registered and managed in Queensland, while reducing red tape and ensuring consistency across the country.
Casino Control and Other Legislation Amendment Bill 2023
This bill overhauls Queensland's casino regulation following the Gotterson Review, which found money laundering, links to organised crime, and inadequate harm minimisation at Star Entertainment's Queensland casinos. It introduces mandatory identity-linked player cards, cashless gambling limits, binding pre-commitment systems for loss and time limits, a new supervision levy on casinos, five-yearly reviews of casino operations, and requirements to exclude people banned from interstate casinos.
Revenue and Other Legislation Amendment Bill 2018
This bill amends a wide range of Queensland legislation covering tax administration, electronic property conveyancing, fine enforcement, alcohol restrictions in Indigenous communities, cultural heritage protections, and the Cross River Rail project. It is administered by the Deputy Premier, Treasurer and Minister for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Partnerships.
State Financial Institutions and Metway Merger Amendment Bill 2024
This bill ensures Suncorp Group Limited keeps its headquarters in Queensland after selling its banking business to ANZ. It updates a 1996 law that was originally designed to keep the merged Suncorp-Metway group based in Queensland, applying strengthened requirements to Suncorp's continuing insurance business.
