Australian Crime Commission (Queensland) and Other Legislation Amendment Bill 2016
This bill updates Queensland laws to reflect the merger of the national CrimTrac policing database into the Australian Crime Commission, and bundles in several unrelated police, weapons and fire safety changes. It expands police powers to arrest on another officer's instruction, search vehicles for knives, and deploy explosives detection dogs in public places, while also giving fire officers new powers to identify building occupiers.
Domestic and Family Violence Protection and Other Legislation Amendment Bill 2016
This bill strengthens Queensland's domestic and family violence protections following the 'Not Now, Not Ever' taskforce report. It gives police more power to protect victims on the spot, makes protection orders last longer, lets agencies share information to respond to serious threats, and joins the national scheme that recognises domestic violence orders across state borders.
