Mr Shane King MP

As an electrician and ETU member, criticised the bill for repealing renewable energy targets, the Energy Industries Council, and the Jobs Advocate.

“I rise to speak on the Energy Roadmap Amendment Bill 2025... this bad, backwards bill.”— 2025-12-10View Hansard

As a licensed electrician, supports the digital licensing reforms but has concerns about changes to safety notification requirements.

“I do support modernising the licensing system for tradies... I am all for cutting red tape—except when we could be risking lives.”— 2025-11-20View Hansard

As former transport committee chair, supported the bill's introduction of mandatory safety management systems and the expanded duty to be fit to drive.

“The bill also introduces a duty to be fit to drive, to complement the existing duty not to drive fatigued.”— 2025-10-30View Hansard

Criticised the budget for cutting billions from congestion-busting projects, removing cost-of-living measures, and spending more to help people buy new homes than supporting people sleeping rough.

“Sadly, this LNP budget will make it harder for Queenslanders to get around and get ahead.”— 2025-06-26View Hansard

Criticised the bill as containing double standards - imposing strict requirements on renewable energy while exempting Olympic projects from scrutiny. As a former electrician and ETU member, defended renewable energy and criticised LNP's antirenewable sentiment.

“It is interesting that the LNP pretends to champion local governments. 'We're listening,' they say; 'They don't want wind farms,' they say. However, when it comes to the Olympics, the LNP cannot trust councils to stay on schedule and cannot trust councils to get it right on planning.”— 2025-06-25View Hansard
