Casino Control and Other Legislation Amendment Bill 2022
This bill overhauls Queensland's casino and gambling regulation following major integrity failures found at casinos in other states. It introduces stronger enforcement powers for casino operators including fines up to $50 million, enables cashless gambling across all forms of gambling, creates a new simulated events wagering product, and simplifies fundraising rules for national charities.
Associations Incorporation and Other Legislation Amendment Bill 2019
This bill modernises Queensland's framework for incorporated associations and charitable organisations. It introduces governance standards for management committees, reduces duplicate financial reporting for organisations registered with the Australian Charities and Not-for-profits Commission, and provides simpler processes for dispute resolution, voluntary administration, and cancellation of incorporation.
Residential Tenancies and Rooming Accommodation and Other Legislation Amendment Bill 2024
This bill reforms Queensland's rental laws to strengthen protections for renters, stabilise rents in the private market, and ease cost-of-living pressures. It also introduces mandatory professional development for property agents, removes compulsory superannuation contributions for local government employees, and fixes technical issues in body corporate termination processes.
Resources and Other Legislation Amendment Bill 2021
This bill makes changes across five unrelated areas of law: validating historically granted mining leases, clarifying petroleum lease renewal rules, strengthening water restriction enforcement in South East Queensland, protecting water providers' cybersecurity information from mandatory public disclosure, and repealing the never-commenced Personalised Transport Ombudsman Act 2019.
Electoral Legislation (Political Donations) Amendment Bill 2018
This bill sought to ban for-profit corporations from making political donations to candidates, parties and elected members at both state and local government level in Queensland. It was introduced by the Greens member for Maiwar, building on the Crime and Corruption Commission's Operation Belcarra findings about corruption risks from corporate donations. The bill's second reading was defeated and it did not become law.
