Education and Other Legislation Amendment Bill 2026
This bill delivers reforms across Queensland's education and arts portfolios. It reduces red tape for non-state schools, creates a legal framework for programs that re-engage disengaged students, expands international delivery of the Queensland Certificate of Education, modernises governance of five arts statutory bodies, and introduces anti-scalping protections for QPAC ticket resales.
Path to Treaty Bill 2023
This bill creates Queensland's legal framework for negotiating treaties with Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples. It establishes two new institutions: the First Nations Treaty Institute, an independent statutory body to help First Nations communities prepare for and participate in treaty negotiations; and the Truth-telling and Healing Inquiry, a three-year process to document the impacts of colonisation on Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples.
Agriculture and Other Legislation Amendment Bill 2015
This bill updates 10 Queensland agriculture laws with mostly technical changes — clearing the way for drone-based crop spraying, tightening controls on feeding animal products to livestock, speeding up exotic disease responses, simplifying pet microchip rules, and realigning company director liability with national principles. It also stops the automatic repeal of rules that manage the state's 38 remaining forest reserves, keeping them in place until those lands can be transferred to new tenures.
Arts (Statutory Bodies) and Other Legislation Amendment Bill 2024
This bill strengthens First Nations recognition and governance across Queensland's five major cultural institutions — the State Library, Art Gallery, Museum, Performing Arts Trust and Theatre Company. It mandates Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander board representation, creates dedicated First Nations Committees, and modernises board governance with criminal history checks and accountability measures. It also introduces anti-ticket scalping rules for QPAC events.
