Overview

• The Crisafulli government introduced the Daniel's Law bill to Queensland Parliament, establishing a police‑run public child sex offender registry.
• A new public webpage would list reportable offenders who are non‑compliant or whose whereabouts are unknown, potentially showing full name, photograph and year of birth.
• Queenslanders could apply to view images of high‑risk offenders living in their area, with only images provided and regional applicants receiving access for their town and adjoining towns.
• Parents and guardians could request confirmation on whether a person with unsupervised contact with their child — including online communication — is a reportable offender.
• The bill creates offences to deter misuse: up to 10 years’ jail for intimidation, harassment or incitement targeting listed offenders, and up to three years for conduct likely to intimidate or for unauthorised sharing of registry information.
