Safer Waterways Bill 2017

This bill would have created a new Queensland Crocodile Authority based in Cairns with powers to kill or relocate crocodiles that threaten people, and to authorise crocodile farming and egg harvesting as a new industry. Introduced by KAP MP Shane Knuth as a private member's bill in response to crocodile attacks in North Queensland, it lapsed and did not become law.
