Mr Michael Berkman MP

This Greens private member's bill would have banned all coal mining in Queensland's Galilee Basin, including terminating Adani's existing mining leases for the Carmichael mine. It was based on the 2018 IPCC report finding that coal must be phased out globally by 2050 to limit dangerous climate change. The bill lapsed and did not become law.

This Greens private member's bill sought to implement recommendations from the Royal Commission into Institutional Responses to Child Sexual Abuse by making it easier for survivors to sue institutions. It would have created a legal duty for schools, churches, and other organisations to prevent child abuse and reversed the burden of proof so institutions had to show they took reasonable steps. This bill was discharged and did not become law.

This bill would have banned all for-profit corporations from making political donations in Queensland, at both state and local government levels. It was a private member's bill introduced by the Greens, building on the Crime and Corruption Commission's Operation Belcarra investigation into the corrupting influence of political donations. The bill failed its second reading and did not become law.

This bill sought to raise the age of criminal responsibility in Queensland from 10 to 14 years old. Children under 14 would no longer have been charged, prosecuted, detained, or given criminal records. It also required the release of children already in custody and the expungement of their records. This bill failed at the second reading and did not become law.

This bill would have removed state-imposed caps on infrastructure charges that local governments can levy on property developers. It lapsed at the end of the 57th Parliament and did not become law. Introduced by Greens MP Michael Berkman, it aimed to give councils the flexibility to charge developers the true cost of providing infrastructure like parks, footpaths, and flood mitigation in growing communities.
