Bills Introduced (6)

Liquor and Fair Trading Legislation (Red Tape Reduction) Amendment Bill 2015

Defeated

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

Lapsed

This 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.

Constitution (Fixed Term Parliament) Referendum Bill 2015

Electoral (Redistribution Commission) and Another Act Amendment Bill 2015

Defeated

This bill proposed changes to how Queensland's electoral boundaries are decided. It would have expanded the independent Redistribution Commission from 3 to 5 members, allowed it to decide the number of electoral districts (between 89 and 94), and given it more flexibility for very large rural electorates. The bill failed at its second reading and did not become law.
