Hon Amanda Stoker MP

Supported the bill as a carefully crafted, evidence-based response with sensible exemptions, stronger penalties, random breath testing and device confiscation.

“This bill is a carefully crafted response to a serious problem facing our community: the harm and disruption caused by the misuse of e-bikes and e-scooters.”— 2026-06-04View Hansard

Spoke in support, arguing high environmental standards need not mean slow processes or lawfare, and that the bill's streamlining of tourism permissions under Destination 2045 will restore investor confidence in regions like the Redlands without lowering protection standards.

“This bill delivers on the Crisafulli LNP government's commitment as part of the Destination 2045 plan to streamline approvals, reduce duplication, reduce red tape and make it easier for tourism operators to do business here in Queensland.”— 2026-05-14View Hansard

Supported the bill, rejecting claims of inadequate consultation, citing the Johnston review's findings of poor oversight and an unclear commissioner role, and defending the skills-based board and repeal of the Land Access Ombudsman levy.

“It strengthens oversight, clarifies accountability and helps to restore confidence that Queensland's resources safety framework is focused on its one and only job: keeping workers safe.”— 2026-05-12View Hansard

Supported the bill drawing on experience as a former criminal prosecutor, arguing there is no safe way to do drugs. Cited San Francisco's failed harm reduction experiment as evidence that permissive drug policies increase overdose deaths.

“From these experiences, it is my deeply held belief that there is no safe way to do drugs—none at all.”— 2026-04-22View Hansard
