Transport and Other Legislation (Managing E-mobility Use and Protecting Our Communities) Amendment Bill 2026Passed (amended)Mixed
Welcomed the minister listening on exemptions but argued the 122 last-minute amendments are complex and unscrutinised, calling for the amended bill to be returned to committee for proper consultation.
“However, the 122 amendments that the minister introduced yesterday are complex, convoluted, confusing and lacking in detail, particularly the licensing exemptions, compliance labelling and path speed limits.”— 2026-06-04View Hansard
Environmental Protection (Efficiency and Streamlining) and Other Legislation Amendment Bill 2025PassedMixed
As a committee member, raised stakeholder concerns about code-managed ERAs lacking a public register, removal of small-scale mining sureties, overtourism risks from single permits, and the UWIR extension, urging the department to retain a three-year underground water reporting cycle and address contaminated bores.
“I would encourage the minister and the department to listen to the concerns of stakeholders with respect to the proposals outlined in this bill to ensure that our environment continues to be protected with respect to the competing demands of mining and tourism activities.”— 2026-05-14View Hansard
