Brisbane Olympic and Paralympic Games Arrangements and Other Legislation Amendment Bill 2024
This bill makes changes across five unrelated policy areas bundled into one piece of legislation. It restructures the 2032 Olympics infrastructure authority, repeals the Path to Treaty Act 2023 (ending First Nations treaty and truth-telling processes), winds back workplace safety entry powers for union officials, clarifies planning rules for State Facilitated Development, and strengthens the independence of the Public Sector Commissioner.
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.
