Protecting Queenslanders from Violent and Child Sex Offenders Amendment Bill 2018
This bill sought to make supervision orders for dangerous sex offenders indefinite rather than fixed-term, and to create automatic lifelong electronic monitoring for repeat sex offenders. It was a private member's bill introduced by Mr Janetzki MP that lapsed at the end of the 56th Parliament and did not become law.
Corrective Services and Other Legislation Amendment Bill 2020
This bill strengthens anti-corruption measures in Queensland prisons following the Crime and Corruption Commission's Taskforce Flaxton report, reforms the parole system based on the Queensland Parole System Review, creates a permanent firearms amnesty, and regulates the possession of replica firearms including gel blasters.
Criminal Code and Other Legislation (Mason Jett Lee) Amendment Bill 2019
This bill sought to introduce mandatory minimum prison sentences for the murder of children and create a new criminal offence of 'child homicide'. Named after Mason Jett Lee, a toddler who was killed, it aimed to ensure sentencing for child deaths reflects community expectations and aligns with other Australian jurisdictions. The bill was defeated at the second reading and did not become law.
