Program / SchemeReferenced in 11 bills
Appropriation Bill (No. 2) 2017
This bill retroactively authorises $2.27 billion in government spending that exceeded the original 2016-17 budget. It is a routine accountability step required by the Queensland Constitution whenever departments spend more than Parliament originally approved.
Payroll Tax Rebate, Revenue and Other Legislation Amendment Bill 2015
This bill is an omnibus package that amends nine Acts. Its centrepiece is a 25 per cent payroll tax rebate on apprentice and trainee wages for three years, backed by $45 million. It also sets up the legal framework for electronic property conveyancing, creates a stamp duty concession for mining exploration farm-in deals, delays anti-bikie licensing rules by 12 months, and requires licensed plumbers to install water meters.
Appropriation (Parliament) Bill (No. 2) 2015
This bill gives Parliament formal approval to have spent an extra $2.934 million on itself during the 2014-15 financial year. The Legislative Assembly and parliamentary service went over their original budget, and this supplementary appropriation retrospectively authorises that unforeseen expenditure.
Limitation of Actions (Institutional Child Sexual Abuse) and Other Legislation Amendment Bill 2016
This bill does four things at once. It removes the time limit for survivors of institutional child sexual abuse to sue for damages (even for abuse that happened decades ago), creates a modern class action system in the Supreme Court, closes a trust fund that helped pay for legal services, and makes permanent the scheme that lets Justices of the Peace hear minor civil disputes in QCAT.
Appropriation (Parliament) Bill 2015
This bill sets Parliament's own budget. It authorises $87.274 million to run the Legislative Assembly and parliamentary service in 2015-16, plus $43.637 million of interim supply to keep Parliament going in 2016-17 until next year's budget bill passes.
Appropriation Bill 2015
This bill is the 2015-16 Queensland Budget in legal form. It authorises the Treasurer to spend $52.84 billion from the consolidated fund across 26 departments and agencies for the year starting 1 July 2015, plus $26.42 billion of interim supply to keep government running at the start of 2016-17.
Appropriation (Parliament) Bill 2016
This bill is the annual budget appropriation for running Queensland's Parliament itself. It authorises $87.384 million to fund the Legislative Assembly and parliamentary service in 2016-17, plus $43.692 million in interim supply to keep Parliament operating into 2017-18 until the next appropriation bill is passed.

Appropriation Bill (No. 2) 2016
This bill gives Parliament's formal approval for $390.126 million of extra government spending that occurred during the 2015-16 financial year beyond what the original budget allowed. It is a routine housekeeping Act required whenever departments spend more than their original appropriation.
Appropriation Bill (No. 3) 2022

Appropriation Bill (No. 2) 2023
This bill authorises $1.24 billion in supplementary government spending for the 2022-23 financial year.
