Revenue (Cost of Living Relief Locked-in Law) and Other Legislation Amendment Bill 2026Passed
Appropriation (Parliament) Bill 2026In CommitteeOpposes

Debated together with Appropriation Bill 2026 and Revenue (Cost of Living Relief Locked-in Law) and Other Legislation Amendment Bill 2026

Argued the budget delivers an unwelcome message to Stretton of paying more, waiting longer and getting less, with recycled promises.

“For the people of Stretton, this budget delivers a clear yet unwelcome message: under this government you will pay more, wait longer and get less.”— 2026-06-26View Hansard
Regional Planning Interests (Condamine Alluvium) and Other Legislation Amendment Bill 2026Passed (amended)Opposes

Described the bill as an own goal and a betrayal of farmers that did the opposite of the LNP's own election commitment, criticising the rushed, guillotined process and last-minute amendments that breached standing orders.

“This bill represents a clear and deliberate breach of faith with the people of the Condamine region.”— 2026-06-24View Hansard
Transport and Other Legislation (Managing E-mobility Use and Protecting Our Communities) Amendment Bill 2026Passed (amended)
Resources Safety and Health Queensland and Other Legislation Amendment Bill 2026PassedOpposes

Opposed the bill, arguing it departs from the Johnston review by abolishing the commissioner, weakens the tripartite model and worker representation, raises conflict-of-interest concerns about board composition, and bypassed the recommended staged implementation.

“Labor's concern here is that parts of this bill could undermine safety. It is also clear that other stakeholders share our concerns—unions and industry associations.”— 2026-05-12View Hansard
