Government tables report into taxi industry

The Queensland Government has tabled in Parliament today a report into the taxi industry by the Workplace Rights Ombudsman. The government will now liaise with key stakeholders, including the taxi industry, as it develops a response to the report. The 110-page report, compiled after an eight-month investigation into the taxi industry by Workplace Rights Ombudsman Don Brown, contained 56 recommendations covering various issues within the industry.

Tougher penalties target graveyard vandalism

People who damage graves and headstones will face up to seven years in jail as part of a package of legal reforms targeting graveyard vandalism.

Increased penalties for wilful damage reflect the seriousness with which the Queensland Government and the community regard this offending behaviour.

The new measures will provide police and prosecutors with the tools to take action against people who damage or destroy graves and other memorials.
