Debated together with Appropriation Bill 2026 and Revenue (Cost of Living Relief Locked-in Law) and Other Legislation Amendment Bill 2026
Argued the government has its priorities wrong and that the budget leaves the people of Ipswich West behind.
“Every budget is a statement of priorities, and this government has its priorities wrong.”— 2026-06-26View Hansard
Supported the bill while describing it as a technical housekeeping measure and a distraction, raising concerns about NSSAB resourcing, information-sharing privacy safeguards (recommending an MOU) and the unexplained temporary-site provision; welcomed the ticket-scalping measures.
“Though the opposition will be supporting the bill, we do not do so without being aware of its many shortfalls.”— 2026-06-23View Hansard
Stated Labor cannot support the bill in its current form, arguing it was rushed, not properly consulted on, fails to target illegal devices and unfairly burdens older people, disabled riders and commuters; called for it to be withdrawn and redrafted.
“This bill should be withdrawn and redrafted following genuine consultation with stakeholders, experts and the broader community. ... The Queensland Labor opposition cannot support this bill in its current form.”— 2026-06-04View Hansard
