Ms Margie Nightingale MP

Argued the bill cannot deliver on its title, that the 122 amendments prove it was botched, and that the government confused notification with genuine consultation; supported sending it back for proper process.

“This Crisafulli LNP government is ... a government now scrambling to fix a policy they should have got right in the first place.”— 2026-06-04View Hansard

Supported the bill as a constitutional requirement but criticised the government for failing to deliver cost-of-living relief, noting 80 per cent of Inala residents experience housing stress. Highlighted the government's failure to fund MND Queensland and the missed consultants savings cap, warning of consequences for the state's credit rating.

“Supporting the passage of this bill does not mean supporting the priorities of this government, because at a time when Queensland families are under pressure this government is underperforming and has failed to deliver with this bill.”— 2026-04-23View Hansard
