Bills Introduced (3)
Transport Legislation (Disability Parking Permit Scheme) 2019
WithdrawnThis bill was withdrawn from consideration and will not become law.This bill was discharged and did not become law. It would have allowed people who are blind or have severe vision impairment to apply for disability parking permits in Queensland. Currently, only people with impaired walking ability qualify, even though four other Australian jurisdictions already include vision impairment as an eligible condition.
Liquid Fuel Supply (Minimum Biobased Petrol Content) Amendment Bill 2022
DefeatedThis bill was defeated at the second reading — the main debate on its principles. It cannot proceed further.This bill sought to strengthen Queensland's ethanol mandate, which has never been met since it was introduced in 2017. It would have doubled penalties for fuel retailers not selling enough ethanol-blended petrol and required that E10 fuel contain at least 9% ethanol rather than the federally permitted minimum of just 1%. The bill was defeated at second reading and did not become law.
Criminal Code (Defence of Dwellings and Other Premises—Castle Law) Amendment Bill 2024
