Youth Justice and Other Legislation Amendment Bill 2021
This bill tightens bail rules for serious repeat young offenders, gives police new powers to scan for knives in Gold Coast entertainment precincts, and makes it harder for hooning drivers to avoid identification. It responds to a small cohort of recidivist youth offenders responsible for nearly half of all youth crime, tragic knife murders in Surfers Paradise, and ongoing community concerns about dangerous driving.
Police and Other Legislation (Identity and Biometric Capability) Amendment Bill 2018
This bill enables Queensland to participate in national facial biometric identity matching services, removes restrictions on police accessing driver licence photos for serious crime investigations, increases penalties for explosive offences, and provided temporary extended liquor trading for the 2018 Commonwealth Games on the Gold Coast.
