Ms Natalie Marr MP

Supported the bill as delivering on LNP election promises, describing ten years of inaction on youth crime under Labor in her electorate and arguing the bill gives courts the tools needed to hold youth offenders accountable while supporting rehabilitation.

“Families have told me directly they backed the LNP on election day because we promised real change, tougher consequences, better deterrence and a focus on making streets safer.”— 2026-02-12View Hansard

Supported the bill on three grounds: protecting candidate safety through PO box addresses on authorisation statements, restoring a level playing field by treating unions and property developers equally on donations, and ensuring serious criminals serving one year or more cannot vote.

“No longer should Queensland have one rule for trade unions and Labor and another rule for everyone else.”— 2026-02-10View Hansard

Supported the bill as a vital update to the 2005 Defamation Act, emphasising the extension of absolute privilege allowing victims to report to police without fear of defamation, and the modernisation of document service via electronic communication.

“This means Queenslanders, especially victims of crime and domestic violence, can report offences to police without fear of being sued for defamation.”— 2025-12-11View Hansard
