Transport and Other Legislation (Managing E-mobility Use and Protecting Our Communities) Amendment Bill 2026Passed (amended)
Environmental Protection (Efficiency and Streamlining) and Other Legislation Amendment Bill 2025PassedSupports

Supported the bill as a commonsense approach that streamlines approvals, improves mine rehabilitation and closure planning, strengthens enforcement and introduces single integrated tourism permissions while maintaining strong standards.

“I rise today to support the Environmental Protection (Efficiency and Streamlining) and Other Legislation Amendment Bill 2025.”— 2026-06-02View Hansard
Resources Safety and Health Queensland and Other Legislation Amendment Bill 2026PassedSupports

Supported the bill, arguing the governing board delivers clearer accountability as recommended by the Johnston review, that advisory committees remain tripartite and strengthened, and that the Land Access Ombudsman reforms remove an underutilised cost burden.

“This bill is about something incredibly important to my electorate of Mackay: keeping workers safe while ensuring our resources sector remains strong, productive and sustainable for generations to come.”— 2026-05-12View Hansard
Strengthening Protections for Queensland Workers Amendment Bill 2026Withdrawn
Expanding Adult Crime, Adult Time and Taking a Strong Stance on Drugs and Anti-Social Behaviour Amendment Bill 2026Passed (amended)Supports

Supported the bill, citing the experience of Red Dog Brewery in Mackay as 'ground zero' for harassment and intimidation, and drawing on his own experience as a former police officer frustrated by drug diversion non-compliance.

“I have lost count of how many times while I was a police officer in Mackay, when I was dealing with a person who was found to be in possession of drugs, I had to send that person to a drug diversion session as they appeared to be eligible for drug diversion. I had to let that person go without charge.”— 2026-04-22View Hansard
