Defamation and Other Legislation Amendment Bill 2025Passed (amended)
Argued the bill does not protect future public ownership of generation assets and criticised the repeal of Forest Wind which would have brought jobs to regional Queensland.
“The repeal of Forest Wind is a repeal of jobs.”— 2025-12-10View Hansard
Opposed the bill, arguing the clauses are not supported by science or crocodile behaviour. Cited expert advice from Australia Zoo that removals do not guarantee waterway safety and that the crocodile population is returning to a natural state rather than overcrowding.
“The intention of the bill is to reduce attacks and thus deaths of humans, but, as has been outlined, the clauses of the bill are not supported by the science, nor are they supported by the habits of crocodiles.”— 2025-12-09View Hansard
