DefeatedThis bill was defeated at the second reading — the main debate on its principles. It cannot proceed further.This bill cuts red tape for Queensland's liquor and tourism industries and repeals 14 obsolete church and community organisation Acts. It lets craft breweries sell their beer at festivals and farmers markets, gives clubs, bed and breakfasts and campdrafting events more flexibility, and introduces a new approval process for liquor events held in pub car parks.
Electoral (Constitutional) Amendment Bill 2015
LapsedThis bill was a private member's bill that proposed technical changes to the Electoral Act 1992 to support a separate proposal for fixed four-year parliamentary terms in Queensland. It did not stand alone — it was designed to work with a companion constitutional bill. The bill lapsed and did not become law.

Passed (amended)This bill became law after being modified during debate.This bill increases the size of Queensland's Parliament from 89 to 93 MPs, adding four new electoral districts to improve representation in regional and remote Queensland.

Constitution (Fixed Term Parliament) Amendment Bill 2015
Passed (amended)This bill became law after being modified during debate.This bill would fix Queensland's parliamentary term at four years, with state elections held on the second Saturday in March every four years.

Constitution (Fixed Term Parliament) Referendum Bill 2015
Passed (amended)This bill became law after being modified during debate.This bill was the machinery for putting a proposed change to Queensland's Constitution to the people in a referendum.

Electoral (Redistribution Commission) and Another Act Amendment Bill 2015
DefeatedThis bill was defeated at the second reading — the main debate on its principles. It cannot proceed further.This bill proposed changes to how Queensland's electoral boundaries are decided.

The bill failed at its second reading and did not become law.
