Steve Dickson MP

This bill aimed to give Burdekin cane growers supplying Wilmar Sugar another year under their existing supply contracts. It would have delayed new sugar marketing rules from applying until 1 July 2018 so Wilmar and Queensland Sugar Limited (QSL) had more time to finalise their on-supply deal. The bill was introduced by Mr Steve Dickson MP as a private member's bill and was later withdrawn, so it did not become law.

This bill would have required the Queensland Health Minister to take steps to make whole plant medicinal cannabis affordable for patients who need it. It focused on pushing the Commonwealth to relax import rules and subsidise overseas-produced medicinal cannabis while Australian production was not yet available. The bill was a private member's bill introduced by Mr Steve Dickson MP and lapsed without becoming law.
