Rob Pyne MP

This bill would have required ministers of religion who work with or are associated with a school to report suspected child sexual abuse to police. It amended the Child Protection Act 1999 and the Education (General Provisions) Act 2006 in response to the Royal Commission into Institutional Responses to Child Sexual Abuse. The bill lapsed at the end of the 55th Parliament and did not become law.

This bill would have removed time limits on civil lawsuits for child abuse, allowing survivors to sue institutions no matter how long ago the abuse happened. It also let survivors undo past settlements forced by expiring deadlines, stopped institutions from getting cases dismissed over delays they themselves caused, and restored jury trials for these cases. The bill failed at the second reading and did not become law.

This bill proposed to reform Queensland's abortion laws by setting clear rules on who can perform terminations, when abortions after 24 weeks are allowed, and by creating safe access zones around clinics. Introduced by independent MP Rob Pyne, the bill was withdrawn and did not become law.

This bill sought to remove abortion from Queensland's Criminal Code by repealing the three sections that made it a crime for women to end a pregnancy or for doctors to help them. The bill was withdrawn and did not become law.

This bill would have made institutions legally responsible when children in their care are sexually or seriously physically abused by staff, volunteers or contractors. It implemented recommendations of the Royal Commission into Institutional Responses to Child Sexual Abuse. The bill lapsed when the 55th Parliament ended and did not become law.
