Hon Dale Last MP

This bill allows disused greenhouse gas exploration wells to be converted into water supply bores and given to rural landholders for free. After Queensland banned carbon storage in the Great Artesian Basin in 2024, the company CTSCo was left with wells that would normally be plugged and abandoned - this bill instead lets them be repurposed as a useful water resource for farming.

This bill sought to create three new criminal offences targeting trespass on business premises and transport infrastructure. It was a private member's bill that lapsed at the end of the 56th Parliament and did not become law.
